Dockcase is starting to become a familiar name in the tech world. The company is gearing up to launch a new product: a USB docking solution that features a more upscale design and enhanced specifications. It’s being promoted as a 7-in-1 device that serves not only as a docking station but also as external storage.
Advanced Storage Capabilities
This device can take in either an M.2 2230 or M.2 2242 SSD. The storage drive connects through PCIe and NVMe, which allows for faster data transfer using a modern protocol. Data is transmitted over two PCIe 3.0 lanes, providing a bandwidth of 10 Gbit/s. While this speed isn’t as impressive as that of high-end external SSDs, it remains quite good on its own.
Lightweight and User-Friendly Design
At a weight of 113 g (0.25 lb) and dimensions of 97.8 x 55.0 x 20.9 mm (3.9 x 2.2 x 0.8 in), the device features a 1.9-inch touchscreen with a resolution of 320 x 170 pixels. Besides showing information like SSD specs, it allows users to adjust the built-in cooling fan. There's also a read-only mode designed to help users protect the data stored on their SSD.
Connectivity and Pricing Details
In addition, the dock supports memory cards and includes a HDMI 2.1 port that can handle 4K output at 120Hz. It connects to computers through USB-C, but it can only deliver a maximum of 100 watts via Power Delivery. Priced at $179, the Dockcase Smart USB-C Hub 7in1 will soon be available on Kickstarter, probably with some discounts typical of crowdfunding campaigns.
