- New Satechi hub simplifies storage and ports for Apple Mac Mini
- Offers to maintain wireless strength while cooling the Mac Mini
- Users can enjoy high-speed storage with budget-friendly, expandable solutions
Satechi has unveiled its latest innovation for Apple fans: the Mac Mini M4 Stand & Hub with SSD enclosure, designed exclusively for the 2024 Mac Mini.
This new Stand & Hub supports up to 4TB M.2 NVMe SSD storage as well as multiple SSD sizes, including M.2 2230, 2242, 2260 and 2280, while offering 10 Gbps transfer speeds to ensure fast access to files and media.
This Stand & Hub is a cheaper option for storage upgrades compared to Apple’s built-in upgrades, and while the speeds may not compete with Apple’s built-in SSDs, they should be more than adequate for day-to-day use, making this a decent alternative for those with a budget.
Designed for the 2024 Mac Mini
The new Satechi Mac Mini M4 comes with an aluminum design that mirrors Apple’s design, but is also smaller than its predecessor, making older stands incompatible.
Modern Apple devices, including the Mac Mini M4, often omit older ports, leaving users dependent on adapters – the Satechi hub solves this by reintroducing three USB-A ports, located on the front for easy access.
Its front-facing ports make it easier to connect frequently used peripherals without reaching around the back of the device. The aluminum housing is paired with heat-dissipating vents that keep the device cool while maintaining wireless signal strength, a critical factor for modern connectivity needs. It also features a patented technology to ensure optimal airflow and heat dissipation.
Upgrading to 4TB using Apple’s internal storage upgrades can cost over $1200. Satechi’s hub provides a more affordable alternative that allows users to purchase and install their own SSDs.
