“Considering connecting this to a Mac Mini to use as a home file/music/media server since I can't get large internal storage on a Mac Mini. Would this work with Sonos as a music server for the home?”

Hello, Thanks for getting in touch. Thank you for your inquiry about using the Crucial X10 Pro 4TB USB-C External SSD with your Mac Mini as a home file/music/media server and its compatibility with Sonos. The Crucial X10 Pro is indeed a high-performance SSD, and it can be used to store and transfer your files and media between your Mac Mini and other devices. However, it is important to note that the Crucial X10 Pro is not designed for 24x7 operation, unlike enterprise SSDs. For continuous, round-the-clock use, an enterprise SSD would be a more suitable option. Additionally, to achieve the best performance from the Crucial X10 Pro, you will need to use a USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 port. This ensures that you can fully leverage the high-speed capabilities of the SSD. Regarding its use with Sonos, while the SSD can store your music files, you will need to ensure that your Sonos system can access these files over the network. Sonos typically works best with network-attached storage (NAS) devices or media servers that are always on and accessible over the network.
