DockCase Pocket review: The most extra Steam Deck SSD enclosure around.
The DockCase gives extra life to the M.2 2230 SSDs that ship in most handheld gaming PCs like the Steam Deck or ROG Ally.The case itself is solid, and the added security of PLP and a read-only mode, makes the DockCase an excellent external SSD caddy.Do you need to watch how fast a game transfers over, or how hot the SSD is running? Not really, but that colourful screen does look cool.Standard M.
That's a decent level of performance and, on the whole, was slightly faster than the standard Jsaux M.2 SSD enclosure I tested it against. Though not by much. The dumb enclosure still producesidentical benchmark figures—is just 7 seconds slower in the file transfer, and was a bit behind in the 3DMark Storage test—but it still makes for a decent cheaper option for cloning and for continued use of your old Deck SSD.

Sure, the readout looks funky—and honestly it probably is the coolest external SSD I've ever played with—but that wouldn't convince me to payRead our review policyOne of the funkiest SSD enclosures I've had to play with, and a great, secure home for your old Steam Deck SSD once you've upgraded.
