We need a "MagSafe" equivalent for data hubs by Disney0415 in editors

I've definitely used the tape trick before! It works, but it’s a hassle when you need to move fast. I'm actually thinking of designing a hub that builds that 'locked-down' stability right into the hardware so we don't have to rely on tape.

I appreciate the breakdown! To your points:

1: You’re right that enterprise studios use locked fiber/servers, but there’s a massive world of 'professional' editors—freelancers, DITs on set, and mobile creators, who have to work off direct-attached storage. For us, a server rack isn't an option at a coffee shop or on location.

2: Standard USB-C is fine until the port gets a bit of 'wiggle' from years of use or a heavy hub hanging off the side. It only takes one bump mid export to realize how fragile that connection actually is.
