The Satechi M4 Mac mini stand and hub enables users of the newly released ultra-compact desktop Mac to expand their storage capabilities with up to 4TB of fast SSD space, while also providing an SD card slot and three USB-A ports.
This new device retains a design similar to the currently available model for the previous generation Mac mini, but don’t anticipate receiving it anytime soon.
The existing version is priced at $100, but Satechi has yet to disclose the pricing or exact release date for the new model, only indicating it will be available in the spring of 2025. However, you can sign up now to receive a 20% discount on the final price.
Exclusively crafted for the 2024 Mac Mini M4, this stylish and practical stand enhances both the design and performance of the next-generation model by offering top-tier storage expansion, compatibility with legacy ports, and front-facing connectivity—all in a compact, premium aluminum structure. The Mac Mini M4 Stand & Hub integrates seamlessly into any workspace, boasting patented technology and an Apple-inspired design aesthetic along with enhanced functionality.
The specifications appear to closely mirror those of the existing model.
The Mac Mini M4 Stand & Hub with SSD Enclosure offers exceptional capabilities with storage options of up to 4TB NVMe and rapid 10Gbps transfer speeds, providing quick access to your files and media.
It is compatible with both legacy and modern devices, featuring USB-A ports for your favorite peripherals, while the front-facing ports facilitate easy access to important devices.
Optimized for performance, Satechi’s patented technology enhances airflow, maintains wireless signal strength, and boosts reliability. The premium aluminum finish, along with heat-dissipating vents, guarantees optimal performance while preserving the sleek, minimalist style characteristic of Satechi products.
While focusing entirely on legacy USB-A ports might seem unusual for a device released in 2025, the Mac mini itself also includes two front-facing USB-C ports.
Among the ports, two are USB 3.2 that support speeds up to 10Gbps, while the third one is a traditional USB 2.0 port with a more modest speed of 480Mbps.
Satechi states that the SSD slots are compatible with most current SSD card sizes:
The slots can support transfer speeds of up to 10Gbps.
