Review: Ideal for expanding a Mac mini - I just upgraded to a Mac mini M2Pro - and have lots of USB connected devices - including drives and USB licence dongles. I ordered this unit because the Mac would simply sit on top, and one connection would give me extra USB, but also SD card slots on the front. When it arrived, I discovered an SSD slot - something I had not noticed the spec included, so bought the appropriate SSD - a 1Tb one in my case. Installation was really simple - open the flap, and inside is a screwdriver and small screw. Pop in the SSD, secure with the screw and pop the flap back. The Mac recognises the external drive and that was so simple. I now have the extra memory, and lots of connections. The unit has a USB/thunderbolt style connector and that then leaves me the rest of the Mac's own connectors, plus the extra ones on the device. It is the same colour and style so I'm really impressed with it. No downsides I can find at all - it does exactly what you expect it to do - seamlessly! Review: A good product and recommended. - The three USB ports and the SD card slot are a welcome addition to the Mac mini. However, whilst inserting the SD card is easy, extracting it is a bit fiddly as the slot is very close to surface on which the hub stands. This is is a minor criticism. The bonus is the ability to add memory. Buyers should be prepared to up to Β£150.00 for a 1TB SS memory stick. The hub is well made and the and finish matches the Mac Min perfectly. On the whole a good product and recommended. ## Features - External Storage Capabilities - Maximize your Mac Mini’s capabilities with a revolutionary USB-C hub designed to support M.2 SSDs (NVMe PCIe/NGFF SATA).

However, whilst inserting the SD card is easy, extracting it is a bit fiddly as the slot is very close to surface on which the hub stands. This is is a minor criticism. The bonus is the ability to add memory. Buyers should be prepared to up to Β£150.00 for a 1TB SS memory stick. The hub is well made and the and finish matches the Mac Min perfectly. On the whole a good product and recommended. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent product and customer support *by M***R on 24 January 2023* I was initially concerned that the product was not fit for purpose as it repeatedly dismounted and remounted the SSD I installed in the internal bay, and a second drive that was connected via one of the front USB ports. This would happen several times an hour, rendering it useless as a storage and backup solution. I contacted Satechi via their website, provided my Amazon order number and explained the problem. That was on Wednesday 18th January. I received a response the following day asking for my address and contact details. On the Friday I received an email from DHL to say that a parcel from Satechi in San Diego, California had been shipped. I received the replacement hub yesterday, Monday 23rd January, just five days after reporting the issue. Considering the replacement was shipped from the USA I thought this was excellent service, especially as I wasn't even asked to ship the faulty unit back. I installed my SSD into the new hub, reconnected the USB drive and left my mac Mini running overnight to see if it would replicate the same problem. The drives remained mounted throughout the night without any disconnections. Now that I have a fully working hub, I'm very pleased with the purchase. It's an excellent solution to overcome the small internal drive within the Mac Mini and blends in perfectly, giving the appearance that the Mac and the Hub are one unit. I haven't tested transfer speeds as I'm not a power user, but for my purpose there is no noticeable difference in accessing data on the fitted SSD than the Mac's internal SSD. Hopefully the replacement hub will continue to operate as expected, but I'll update if there are any problems down the line. Right now I couldn't be happier - an excellent product which is a complete solution to the limited storage shipped with the Mac and first class customer service! ## Frequently Bought Together - Satechi Mac mini Hub & Stand with SSD Enclosure for NVME/SATA M.2, Mac mini Dock with USB C 10Gbps, 3 USB A 5/10Gbps, 2.0 Audio Jack, for Mac Studio, Mac mini M2/M1 (Not Compatible with M4) - Silver - Samsung 990 EVO Plus SSD 2TB, PCIe Gen 4x4, Gen 5x2 M.2 2280, Speeds Up-to 7,250 MB/s, Upgrade Storage for PC/Laptops, HMB Technology and Intelligent Turbowrite 2.0, (MZ-V9S2T0B/AM) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/599999352-mac-mini-hub-and-stand-nvme-sata-ssd-enclosure-usb](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/599999352-mac-mini-hub-and-stand-nvme-sata-ssd-enclosure-usb) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-07-25*
