Satechi Mac Mini Hub & Stand with SSD Enclosure for NVME/SATA M.2, Dock with USB-C 10Gbps, 3 USB-A 5/10Gbps, 2.0 Audio Jack, for Mac mini M2/M1 (Does not support M4), Studio M4/M3/M2/M1 – Silver

although the first one i ordered is cancel but still like it

does not work with PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD have tried using WD_BLACK WD SN850X 2TB M.2 2280 but works with Lexar NM620 M.2 2280 PCIe Gen3x4 NVMe SSD

I bought several types of nvme ssd and all not working with this docking station , it was waste of money for me

Update: downgrading further as I notice a drop in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity when this hub is connected to my Mac mini m2. The color is grayish and not the same as the Mac mini, the texture is also different and feels like plastic.

I had the original Satechi Mac mini hub in space grey for my 2018 Mac mini. So when I updated to the 2023 Mac mini, it was a no brainer to also update to the latest version of this hub, this time in silver to match to the new mini, and with the addition of the M.2 SATA SSD slot. As expected, it is a perfect fit with the Mac mini sitting in the cavity at the top of the hub. While the speed of the USB ports are only 5Gb/s, that more then enough for my uses, especially with the convenience of having easily accessible ports on the front. Also, it just plain looks good with the Mac mini. I installed a Western Digital 3D NAND 2TB M.2 SATA SSD in the available slot at bottom of the hub, and it works flawlessly. Be sure you install an M.2 SATA SSD. M.2 NVMe SSD’s, despite looking almost the same, will not work. Look for 2 notches on the end for the SATA SSD where the contacts are, instead of 1 on NVMe’s.

Se adapta perfectamente a mi nuevo Mac Studio, sin duda, una buena compra con buenos materiales y una marca que nunca defrauda; totalmente recomendable.

[Esta reseña está traducida del inglés] Estoy muy satisfecho con esto. Funciona bien y le da una expansión útil a mi Mac mini. También se ve bien. Dejó de funcionar brevemente, pero creo que fue porque lo limpié (usando líquido limpiador) y tal vez se humedeció un poco de alguna manera. Después de tres días comenzó a funcionar bien. Bien. Pero... este modelo específico (al menos al momento de escribir esto) no está disponible. Satechi ahora ofrece una versión ligeramente diferente (la nueva versión usa un SSD M.2 NVMe; la versión que tengo usa un SSD M.2 SATA). Compré la nueva versión para la Mac mini de mi hermano y redujo su velocidad de wifi, tanto 2g como 5g, en un 70%. Tuve que devolverlo. Así que, comprador, tenga cuidado.

I installed a 2TB NVME SATA SSD in the hub’s slot in about 2 minutes; works flawlessly As well as the NVME slot, the unit has a 10 GB/s usb-c port, a (claimed) 10GB/s usb-a port and 2 5GB/s usb-a ports I guess I would have traded one of the 5GB/s usb-a ports for a second usb-c port, but a minor issue. It has a headphone port which I didn’t get to work, but didn’t troubleshoot since I use airpods anyway Finally, it has 2 SD card slots, one for full size cards and one for micro cards. These work flawlessly For less than $125 CAD, this a great enhancement for a Mac mini. Since it works as a stand for the Mac, it doesn’t take up any additional desk space. As well all the ports are accessible from the front; only the USB-C connection to the Mac is on the back For the price and features this is an excellent addition for a M2 Mac Mini

connected to my mac mini. perfect addition to increase number of ports and added a 2TB ssd. Everything seems to be of a high quality and working exceptionally well. Hope it continues. Initial impression is "outstanding"!
