    Works even with the new Mini body style.

    The new Mac Minis do not have USB A ports which, oddly, many of my peripherals use. So, I needed a hub. this particular hub is designed for the previous Mac Mini body style. However, it also has a socket for NVMe SSD memory. I had an extra SSD drive laying around, so I went with the Satechi hub. Thus far it works fine. I have my external DACs hanging off the USB A ports and the NVMe drive was recognized as is another external SSD that I have plugged in. It doesn't look too bad either. Old, meet new.

    Im using my Mac Mini to produce music and I need access to the ports at all times. I wish Apple would place a few useful ports on the front of the Mac. Since this is unlikely, I searched for the next best thing. This accessory is amazing. Not only does it come with the extra ports needed, but there is also an NVMe slot availabile for an internal SSD, so there is one less accessory on my desk. The stand fits neatly under the Mac Mini forna seemless look. Im so glad I purchased this.

    Great for extra ports and add more hard drive space to your studio. Easy peasy setup too. I added a 2tb drive to it and it’s quick.

    Easy set. Gives you access to a second HDMI for dual monitor set up. Allows for additional memory install so I added 1TB to my Mac mini.

    Awesome Addition For Additional Features

    As not to over exaggerate, but this hub is amazing if you’re looking into having a few more “usable” ports, especially for any MacMini with Thunderbolt 3 or 4 ports. Plus, underneath is the availability to add a blade SSD M.2 and add additional storage capacity and avoid the exorbitant price that Apple charges for storage upgrades. Though, this hub add on eliminates that. Connecting the hub to the back of the MacMini or Studio is simple with little effort. Just plug the USB-C cable to one of Thunderbolt ports on the back and that’s it! Aesthetics is pleasing for those with OCD tendencies. Plus, the brand is renowned for their products. The price was reasonable. Highly recommended if you’re interested in adding additional features to your supported device. Cheers.

    Had this Satechi Hub for about 4 weeks, I purchased the one with the added SSD that could be installed. I purchased a 2 TB SSD to put into Hub. Very easy to install works like a Champ. I use this drive to Run Time Machine on my Mac mini 2. I would recommend this Hub!

    Fits and work great with my new Mac Mini. Also installed a Crucial 1Tb NVMe drive into the hub (because Apple charges so much for extra storage) which is working great. A good addition especially to add more accessible ports, and SD card slot, at the front where needed.

    Since Mac eliminated all USB a ports, this thing is quite helpful. You can use any keyboard or mouse with a usba connection or thumb drive. It’s a must have for the new Mac mini

    This simple intergrated platform was a must have with my new MiniMac M4. It allows me to drop in a 1 terabyte SSD, for time machine backups locally and use Standard USB high speed memory to move large Protools sessions with ease. Wonderful platform. Thanks

    Perfect fit as a base for the mac mini with rubber feet on the bottom so it doesn't slide as easy. Nice to have the extra ports right out front for easy access. Also like the nice upgrade on this version where you can add an NVMe drive inside for extra storage space. It is powered through the thunderbolt port so no extra power plugs to worry about. Was able to catch this on sale for $20 off so it was absolutely worth the price
