Satechi Hub for Mac Mini with NVMe slot

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

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

Used this with my Mac-Mini M2. It is an excellent product and allowed me to add 4TB NVME to migrate a consolidate Apple media libraries from older three IMacs.

This product seamlessly expands my Mac Mini in fact I bought a second one with my second Mini for my business. It is EZ to add solid state hard drive and even a traditional hard drive to the unit. This I have tons of storage that I need to use to run my business. And I get additional USB ports to connect all my external gear.
I 100% recommend this product it’s a hands foen winner.

I consider this an indispensable accessory for the Mac mini. Not only doesn’t help you expand storage but also allows you to handle multimedia tasks more easily.

Misleading Compatibility for macOS Booting
|

Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
I purchased the Satechi USB-C Dual NVMe Dock and a WD Black SN770 NVMe SSD from Best Buy with the goal of creating a bootable macOS Ventura installer on an external drive for my Mac mini M2. While the SSD itself performed reliably as raw storage, the Satechi dock proved problematic for EFI booting on Apple Silicon. It lacked proper documentation, and during OpenCore setup, I encountered intermittent detection issues that made the boot process unstable and unpredictable. For users pursuing advanced macOS workflows—especially external booting—this hardware pairing is not dependable. I expected better compatibility and transparency from both the product and the retailer. Great for peripherals!

This hub is super easy to use with a Mac Mini. It is plug and play; you don't need to download drivers and it doesn't take up any space because you just sit the Mac mini on it.

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.

Perfect fit for the Apple M2 Mac mini. I did return, however for the upgraded M4. There is currently no version of this product for the M4. I would recommend this, however.
