The Satechi Mac mini M4 Dock is quite slow at 10Gbit/s and does not utilise the speed of the Thunderbolt port at all. The Mac mini M4 docks from Raycue are available with 10 Gbit/s (equally slow), 40 Gbit/s (Thunderbolt 4) and 80 Gbit/s (Thunderbolt 5 for Mac mini with M4 Pro), so that the SSDs are correspondingly fast, e.g. 3500 MB/s with a 40 Gbit/s connection and not just 1000 MB/s as with the Satechi. The cooling is also much better. When will you be able to buy the RayCue Mac mini M4 docks?

Unfortunately, we do not yet have a specific date available. As soon as we can obtain it from our suppliers, we will be happy to add it to our range.

How does the Hub or the built-in SSD behave when the Mac Mini is started/restarted or switched off? Is everything automatically mounted without any problems, does the SSD remain permanently mounted for use, or can there be crashes? and is it automatically ejected when switching off? I've never had a hub like this with SSD Enclousure. At the moment I still have a 2012 QuadCore MacMini with Catalina and 4TB SSD 860Evo as a music server, but Catalina no longer receives security updates. I think the price of an M4 MacMini with a 4TB SSD from Apple is completely out of line, but I think the M4 Mini with the smallest configuration is OK in terms of price. If the hub from Satechi works perfectly, that would be a great option, it should only run Asset Upnp from illustrate which manages the music library, it doesn't need CPU power or a lot of RAM, the app is as frugal as a mountain goat ;-)

Hello ! Using the M$ Mini with the Satechi hub now for a month, 2gb WD Black installed. So far works perfect. No crashes, failure notifications, issues with open files... I know a month is not long but with intensive use and no errors ... seems to be a safe choice.

I have installed an m.2 ssd with 2tb. As far as I know, you can install all common models. You can never go wrong with a Samsung ssd

My Samsung 990 Pro SSD gets relatively hot with large amounts of data. Which passive heat sink do you recommend for the SSD as it has a maximum of 5mm space

Hi, I bought the Samsung 990 Pro instead of the Kingston NV3 because the first one didn't work. Samsung works. But I did not use an additional heatsink. I use it for Time Machine backups. So unfortunately can't help. Sorry.

Which storage solution is included here? Or does it have to be purchased separately? If so, is the thermal pad included and the screwdriver to insert a Kingston NV3, for example? Many thanks for any feedback!

The storage solution for the product "Mac Mini M4 Stand & Hub with SSD Enclosure" must be purchased separately, as the SSD is not included in the scope of delivery. Information on whether a thermal pad or a screwdriver is included is not available. It is recommended to check the compatibility of the SSD with the device, as SSDs with heatsinks or double-sided drives may not be compatible.
