The specifications appear quite similar to the existing model.
The Mac Mini M4 Stand & Hub featuring SSD Enclosure delivers exceptional functionality with up to 4TB NVMe storage and lightning-fast 10Gbps transfer rates for instant access to files and media.
It is seamlessly compatible with both legacy and modern devices, reintroducing USB-A ports for connecting essential peripherals, while ensuring easy access to all necessary connections with its front-facing ports.
Engineered for optimal performance, Satechi’s patented technology maximizes airflow, maintains wireless signal clarity, and enhances overall reliability.
