- Patriot Memory MD330 Storage Hub delivers 100W charging and 4K output, all from a small USB-C port
- Storage goes up to 1 TB but transfer rates and encryption is still a mystery
- Handles video output and file storage but reliability under pressure is not guaranteed
Patriot Memory has introduced the MD330 Storage Hub, a device that combines a unique set of capacities in a single device.
The company says it offers high-speed charging, local storage and 4K video output through a single USB-C port features that are rarely found together, especially in a device that weighs only 21 grams.
This makes the MD330 less a refinement of existing accessories and more an attempt to redefine what a USB hub or docking station can be.
Designed for tight workflows
The MD330 connects via USB-C and supports 4K display with both the mirror and expanded screen modes and also delivers up to 100W power, theoretically allows it to charge laptops or handheld consoles while connected to an external screen.
Whether this works reliably during sustained use, especially with power-hungry devices, is something that Patriot has not yet fully demonstrated.
These options are usually reserved for more voluminous setups to remain questions about thermal handling and power stability.
In addition to video and charging, MD330 integrates flash storage available in capacities from 128 GB to 1 TB, which transforms the hub into a portable archive for media or project files.
However, transfer rates are not specified and there is no mention of encryption or compatibility in the file system – and without these details it is difficult to determine if the warehouse is suitable for something beyond relaxed use.
The MD330 aims to simplify mobile setups by combining a Power Bank, USB Hub and Dock into a device, but it does not guarantee uniform performance.
Driving screen output and power supply At the same time, the silk can, especially if there are file transfers as well.
How it controls bandwidth and thermal load across these tasks will ultimately determine whether it is really useful or just an over -promoted accessory.
At the time of writing, Patriot has not revealed the price of MD330, an important detail that could greatly affect its appeal.
