Portronics’ 8-in-1 hub for laptops and phones comes with both HDMI and SSD support. Learn the price.
Portronics has launched its new Mport Space 8-in-1 USB Type C hub in India. This device is specifically designed for modern laptop users who lack ports. The Mport Space features a built-in M.2 SSD slot that supports NVMe and SATA SSDs. It also offers 4K HDMI output, a USB 3.0 port, an SD and microSD card reader, a Type C Power Delivery port, and a Type C data port. It allows for storage, charging, display, and data transfer through a single Type C connection.
Pricing: The Portronics Mport Space is priced at ₹2,799. It is available on Portronics’ official website, Amazon, Flipkart, and other online and offline retail stores. The company also offers a 12-month warranty.
The Mport Space’s biggest highlight is its built-in M.2 SSD slot. According to the company, it supports NVMe and SATA SSDs in 2242, 2260, and 2280 sizes, although the SSD must be purchased separately. This eliminates the need for a separate enclosure, making the hub a portable storage solution that can be useful for those handling large files or high-resolution media.
In terms of connectivity, this hub transforms one Type-C port into a total of eight ports. It features an HDMI output with support for 4K resolution at 30Hz, allowing users to mirror or extend work on a larger screen. High-speed file transfers are possible via USB 3.0 and Type-C data ports, while SD and microSD card readers allow access to camera or drone footage.
For power support, it features 100W USB-C Power Delivery pass-through charging, allowing users to charge their laptop while using other connected devices. According to the company, this feature is useful during long workflows.
It has a separate on-off switch for the SSD to prevent accidental disconnection. LED indicators show standby and read-write activity. The hub’s aluminum body design helps with heat dissipation, and a nylon braided cable is added for longevity. It comes with plug-and-play support and requires no additional driver installation.
