Are you looking to expand storage to 4TB, add an SD card slot, and USB-A ports on the Apple Mac Mini M4? Satechi has a surprisingly simple solution.
Enhance your Mac Mini setup with the new Satechi hub.
Satechi has launched a new accessory aimed at Apple enthusiasts: the Mac Mini M4 Stand & Hub with an SSD enclosure, specifically developed for the Mac Mini 2024. This device enables storage expansion of up to 4TB using NVMe M.2 SSDs and is compatible with various SSD sizes, such as M.2 2230, 2242, 2260, and 2280, offering transfer speeds of up to 10Gbps. This option is presented as a more economical solution to enhance storage, providing a viable and accessible alternative compared to Apple's expensive upgrades.
The new M4 from Satechi stands out with its aluminum design that mimics Apple's style, though in a smaller size that makes previous stands incompatible. Modern Apple devices, including the Mac Mini M4, have stopped including certain legacy ports, which forced users to rely on adapters. The Satechi hub brings back three USB-A ports, located at the front for easy access. This layout allows for frequently used peripherals to be connected without having to reach the back of the device.
Additionally, its aluminum enclosure features ventilation that helps keep the device cool and preserves the strength of the wireless signal, which is an important aspect for connectivity today. The hub also integrates patented technology that optimizes airflow and heat dissipation.
Opting for a 4TB upgrade through Apple’s internal storage options could exceed $1200, while the Satechi hub presents a more accessible alternative, allowing users to purchase and install their own SSD units.
