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.
“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.”
Besides the M.2 SSD slot, which supports NVMe and SATA with a 900 MB/s data transfer, the docking Station features a 4K@60 Hz / 2K@120 Hz HDMI 2.0 port, 2 USB-A 3.1 ports, 1 Gigabit Ethernet port as well as a USB-C port for power input that allows charging at 100 W, letting the Steam Deck fully recharge while plugged in. The units bundled with SSD storage will feature M.2 2280 units, featuring PCIe Gen 3 8GT/s interface, up to 4 lanes. The SSDs are compliant with NVMe Express Revision 1.4 and support host memory buffer. Both the 1TB and the 2TB units offer up to 3300 MB/s read speeds and up to 2600 MB/s write speeds.
This new Docking Station will be on sale from September 7th at 7am PST for a special $99 early bird price for the first 100 orders. After that, next orders will be priced at $129. JSAUX is also offering two bundled M.2 Docks with a 1 TB SSD and a 2 TB SSD storage card. The Dock + 1 TB SSD storage card will have an early bird price of $169 for the first 50 units (after that, it will be sold at $199), and the Dock + 2 TB SSD storage card will have an early bird price of $239 for the first 50 units (after that, it will be priced at $269). All customers will get a complimentary portable stand for the Deck (while supplies last), a skin and a keycap with their orders. Check out the product or place your orders here!
