Final Thoughts
I really like that M.2 2230 NVMe solid state drives are becoming more popular. These tiny little drives are not only great for all of the gaming handhelds that are coming out, but for small enclosures like the Dockcase Pocket Smart that we took a look at today. In most cases these enclosures end up being smaller than portable solid state drives you can buy and the best part is you can pick the drive you install in it. With that you also have the ability to swap out or upgrade the drive down the line.
The Dockcase Pocket Smart sets itself apart from other drives as it has a really cool screen on the front that is quite useful and just neat! It will show you information on your drive, transfer stats, the temperature of your drive and more. There is not real customization though, it would have been nice to be able to add your own image / animation to the screen.
When it comes to speeds this is a USB 3.2 gen 2 enclosure so you’ll max out at around 1000 MB/s read and write, which we saw in our testing. Having this fast of a portable drive makes it great for a mobile game drive, editing drive, or just a drive you use for fast transfers of large files.
Right now you can pick this drive up at our favorite online retailer for $49.99 at our favorite online retailer. Overall ThinkComputers gives the Dockcase Pocket Smart 2230 M.2 NVMe SSD Enclosure a 9 out of 10 score!
Pros:
– Small and easy to take with you
– Easy installation of M.2 2230 drive
– Neat display

Cons:
– No real customization of the display
