A Pocket SSD with Active Cooling - Awesome For Gaming Handhelds!

Sharge Disk is a tiny external M.2 NVMe drive with active cooling that fits in your pocket. In this video, we take a look at this little guy and see how it works in gaming handhelds.

The device in this video is a media prototype and was provided to me for this video. If you decide to buy this product, I will not make any money. The company also did not provide me with any financial incentive for this video.

The mini fan is more fascinating than the actual drive itself.

That retention mechanism is genius. I wish other people would take that into consideration because I'm tired of losing that damn screw

[MentalEdge]

It would be pretty sick if sarge made a version with a passthrough port for power, allowing it to be used on devices with just the one port, in all situations.

I'm waiting for those 2tb microSD cards to launch this year by Kioxia, aka Toshiba Memory.

They should make a "ribbed" full aluminium version with no fan. Direct chassis cooling with the extra ribbing surface area would suffice outside of extended writing periods, where it'd just throttle and be fine

[SoraismynameWAO]

Seems like this would be good for phones/tablets with no sdcard slot too

I think attachment at 0:54 is indeed the cable that can be used for connection

In the early '90s I paid $400 for a 10MB Hard Drive. Times sure do change.

I've never seen a fan that small. Nice Device.

This is the sort of product that i ALWAYS have so much cheers for. It brings what you use to an entirely new level.

Be warned that 2230 and 2242 sized SSDs are around 2-2.5x the cost per gigabyte than the standard 2280 sizes.

finally! now i can hold the entirety of the wii u library in my pocket without people laughing at me and without my pants falling down! my pc doesnt even explode! this is awesome!!!

Contrary to popular belief, SSDs perform better and last longer in higher temps than lower temps as NAND is very similar to battery cells which degrade in cooler temps. Your standard metal sticker M.2s come with are efficient enough to prevent the PCB getting damaged

That mini fan is everything i could see the entire video💙

Thanks for an informative video. Gave a like just for the fact that this is the first video I watched that correctly said the switch is for read only mode (not for locking the cover) 👍

Would love to see USB 3.2x2 with 20Gb/s so at least pci-e 3 speeds, else its pretty nice solution

bought a powerbank from these guys awhile back, Died within 6 months and they refused to offer any kind of repair service or warranty.

It looks awesome, I'll definitely get one! Thanks for sharing this Taki :)

This works perfect along with a Type C dongle so that you can feed power and use the disk on a steam deck. Plus that tight fit wont let you use this on a steam deck with a case on it.

We sure are spoiled nowadays if that amount of fan noise is unacceptable.
