JSAUX Reveals M.2 Equipped Steam Deck Docking Station

I must admit, JSAUX isn’t a brand I’ve heard of before. However, they certainly got my attention today, with the announcement of their Steam Deck Docking Station! They’re not the only people to have created one, however, this one does feature a built-in M.2 SSD slot, allowing you to externally upgrade the storage of your Steam Deck! However, I should stress that this is purely the dock for both, it doesn’t actually come with an SSD, you’d have to do that part yourself, or order one of their bundle deals.

It’s a pretty cool idea, especially for those already struggling with storage space. You could keep all your travel-friendly games installed directly on the Stream Deck, while larger more storage-intensive titles could be left stored on the dock for when you’re using the Steam Deck on your TV or monitor.

Features

• 6-in-1 Docking Station for Steam Deck. Equipped with an HDMI 4K@60 Hz / 2K@120 Hz output, a Gigabit LAN Ethernet input, a USB-C port for charging, and two USB-A 3.1 ports, letting you explore a new way to play with Steam Deck.
• The M.2 SSD slot supports NVMe and SATA (900 MB/s Data Transfer) so you can upgrade your Deck’s storage when playing on a big screen.
• It comes with a 4K@60 Hz / 2K@120 Hz HDMI 2.0 output When it’s connected to an external 4K monitor, it provides a sharper and smoother visual experience, so you can enjoy the visual feast on your games.
• Full charging speed for your Steam Deck. The JSAUX Steam Deck docking station supports 100 W max. power delivery, which is enough power to charge your Steam Deck at full speed (45 W) when paired with the original charger.
• The JSAUX all-in-1 Steam Deck docking station blends hub and stand together perfectly, so you can keep your desktop neat and organised.
• It is also compatible with iPads and Android phones with USB-C ports.

What JSAUX Had to Say

“The HB0604 Docking Station features an M.2 SSD slot that will allow players to upgrade the Deck’s storage by attaching an external storage unit (not included with the dock). This way, players can expand their library when playing games on a big screen, especially AAA titles that tend to grab a significant chunk of the Deck’s storage.”
