STATIONPC PocketCloud Dock, one M.2 slot reached over Ethernet rather than USB
A dock reached over a network rather than by a cable to a computer, with three named backup modes — and no M.2 format, no link rate and no wattage anywhere on the page.
- Bay count
- One — a single M.2 NVMe slot, stated in the title and in the first bullet. No 2.5-inch or 3.5-inch bay exists
- Supported drive sizes
- Not published on the listing — no M.2 format is named anywhere, neither 2230, 2242, 2260, 2280 nor 22110, on a device whose M.2 slot is its only position
- Supported drive interfaces
- M.2 NVMe — stated in the title. Whether the slot also accepts an M.2 SATA module is not stated, and no SATA bay of any kind exists
- Solid-state slot support
- The whole device is one M.2 slot, stated in the title as diskless. The first bullet adds that modules of different capacities can be mixed between the dock and the portable unit, which follows from there being no array to balance
- Offline cloning
- Yes, in three named modes — the third bullet gives Full Backup, which mirrors everything, Selective Backup for named files, and Auto Transfer, which syncs automatically. The fourth adds one-click backup through the magnetic connection
- Interface standard
- 2.5-gigabit Ethernet, with Power Delivery charging and USB-A ports — stated in the sixth bullet. It is reached over a network rather than by a cable to a computer, and the connection to the companion device is magnetic rather than a plug
- Stated link rate
- Not published on the listing — the 2.5-gigabit figure belongs to the network socket and not to the M.2 slot, and the two are different measurements. No figure in gigabits per second appears for the drive itself
- Connector type
- Not published on the listing in full — the sixth bullet names multiple USB-A ports without a count or a USB generation, and the fourth names a magnetic connection to the maker’s portable NAS. No socket for a host computer is specified
- UASP support
- Not published on the listing — UASP is a USB mass-storage protocol and this device is reached over a network, so the question does not arise in the usual form. No bullet mentions it
- Power supply
- Power Delivery charging, with no wattage — stated in the sixth bullet as stable power. The fourth describes the dock as charging the portable unit as well as backing it up, so the figure matters twice and is given neither time
- Per-bay controls
- Not applicable with one bay, and replaced by a mode selection — the third bullet gives three backup modes and the fourth a one-click backup triggered by setting the portable unit on the magnetic connection
- Amazon reference
- B0FPCTJZ4C
- EAN
- 0860014318214
- Three backup modes named individually — full, selective and automatic
- Describes a copy held on separate hardware in a separate place, and argues for it correctly rather than offering an array instead
- No M.2 format published, on a device whose single M.2 slot is its only position and which arrives empty
Best for: Someone already using the maker’s portable NAS who wants the second copy to live at home, on the network, and to charge while it copies.
