SATECHI Mac Mini M4 Hub & Stand with NVMe SSD Enclosure, Dock with 2 USB-A Up to 10Gbps Ports, USB-A Data Port, SD Card Reader for Mac Mini M4, M4 Pro - Silver

Absolutely amazing docking station for the Mac Mini (M4). This thing is brilliant, great functionality and the NvME it gives the option of adding as by far (for me) the key feature. It is an attractive piece of hardware that perfectly matches with the Mac Mini… giving easier access to that controversial power button, not that many people ever actually switch off their Mac Mini (there really is not much point). Great features in terms of connectivity and fast USB ports which is a huge bonus. I fitted an NvME drive from a popular brand and have had no problems at all. Packaging was good, installation guide provided by video was very useful but installation of the NvME was simple and straightforward. Performance is great. Can’t fault this product.

Great stand, fitted a 1TB memory card and setup no problem, all ports working and easy access to the power button.

Build quality is good and matches the MAC MINI. It offers the ability to connect older USB devices via the front ports. It's a shame it is only USB C not a Thunderbolt connection as you lose one of the three Thunderbolt ports on the MAC MINI. I have a 2TB SSD drive installed and use that for a back up using the MAC Tme Machine backup. It would have been good if there was a HDMI output at the rear as an option as you lose one of the Thunderbolt ports which could be used to drive a monitor. For my use I connect it to G-Drive Pro which has 2 Thunderbolt port so I do not lose one of the three Thunderbolt ports on the MAC MINI. Overall it is a well built base that offers USB ports for older devices, but could have been better, hence only 4 stars. I forgot to mention the cutout at the back which is good as you do not need to lift the MAC MINI up to switch it on.

Fits perfectly with my new Mac Mini M4. I have added a 4TB SSD to store my photo library and everything works perfectly. Great to have a SD card reader and the three USB-A ports. Quality is brilliant and could pass for an Apple product.

A very handy addition to any Mini Mac, I added an 1TB SSD into the case which only took a couple of minutes to do.

This little hub is perfect device to add the extra storage and connectivity which is missing from the MAC mini. You can add extra storage move ssd reading the documentation has been tested 4TB but they believe it can go to 8tb but has not been tested or bench marked. The only thing for me if if it could have some USB and speaker point at the back. However this is just my preference. I have brought a 2TB SSD.’fitted all my required devices to it and with a built in memory SD reserve attaching another port. The price, well for what it dose, with very good build quality I would say well worth the money, and looks good with the Mac, without interference of the Mac performance

An attractive looking hub designed to fit the Mac Mini 4. It features only three USB A ports and an SD card slot - for some reason all on the front - and costs £100. I have installed a 2TB Samsung SSD key in the slot under the hub. The hub seems to run very warm - about 38 degrees C although not actually being accessed. The SSD seems to stay quite cool but the front of the hub is very warm to the touch. I am concerned that when I put the Mac Mini on top the warm air will be drawn up into the computer and affect the performance. I have a much smaller and cheaper Lenovo USB-C hub which has 2 USB A ports, one USB C port, an SD card slot, a HDMI outlet and an ethernet port - much more than the Satechi hub. It is also of brushed aluminium and will sit nicely on top of the Mac Mini with a square of double sided tape. It also has the advantage of being able to be positioned with the ports (and therefore the cables) facing to the rear although of course this will make putting in an SD card more fiddly. I think that for the price the Satechi hub leaves much to be desired.

I added a 2 gig chip into it all went well and works just fine

Excelente dispositivo! Ahora la Macmini mucho más funcional con puertos USB, SD, compartimento para tarjeta SSD y tener más GB de espacio.

Great item, super fast delivery, great price

O produto é excelente e ótima qualidade. Chegou extremamente rápido para uma compra internacional! Ele não mata WiFi como dizem algumas avaliações.

Dieser Hub gibt dem Mac mini zusätzliche Anschlüsse, einen SD-Karten Slot und einen SSD Steckplatz. Außerdem kann man den Mac mini Einschaltknopf erreichen, ohne das Gerät bewegen zu müssen. Dieser Hub ist sehr durchdacht und praktisch und behebt die einzige gravierende Schwäche des Mac mini: den schlecht zu betätigenden Einschaltknopf. Sehr empfehlenswert für Mac mini M4 Nutzer.

Spełnia swoje zadanie. Trochę mało portów (od innych producentów podobne produkty mają np dodatkowy port hdmi i USB z tyłu). Co do temperatur i działania dysku nie odczułem żadnych przegrzewań czy innych problemów więc duży plus. Jak ktoś szuka eleganckiego rozwiania na podłączenie dodatkowego dysku to ten dock mogę polecić
