1. Introduction
The CalDigit AV Pro 2 Storage Hub is the exciting new evolution of our original single drive solution.
It is an expandable storage device specically designed to compliment any Thunderbolt™ 3
computer out of the box. Thanks to the AV Pro 2’s ability to connect to any laptop it can be used by
anyone regardless of their connectivity options.
The AV Pro 2 is a triple threat. Not only does it provide extra storage, it will also charge your laptop
in addition to adding a USB 3.0 hub for expanding your connectivity. One cable from the AV Pro 2
to your Thunderbolt™ 3 or USB-C laptop will add all these great features. Why buy an external drive
that only oers storage? The AV Pro 2 goes beyond the ordinary to oer unprecedented features
not traditionally found in a storage device.
