Satechi has unveiled a new stand and hub specifically designed for the 2024 Mac Mini M4, which offers up to 4TB of fast SSD storage along with an SD card slot and three USB-A ports.

Equipped with an NVMe enclosure, the hub allows users to expand their storage capacity, providing a cost-effective alternative to Apple's high upgrade prices.

A front-facing SD card slot is included, addressing a notable absence in the latest Mac mini models, similar to features found in the Mac Studio.

The hub supports NVMe SSDs with impressive transfer speeds of 10Gbps, making it ideal for quick file access.

Designed to fit neatly under the Mac Mini, the Satechi stand maintains a clean aesthetic while saving valuable workspace.

Pricing for the new hub is expected to be around $100, with availability set for Spring 2025; customers can sign up for updates and a 20% discount on Satechi's website.

The sleek aluminum design of the hub complements the M4 Mac mini's aesthetic, promoting a tidy and organized workspace while enhancing performance.

The hub's aluminum construction incorporates heat-dissipating vents, effectively managing heat during intensive tasks, a significant improvement over previous models.

Satechi claims that the product integrates seamlessly into workspaces, delivering high performance alongside a modern design.

In addition to the SD card slot, the hub includes three USB-A ports, enabling users to connect legacy devices, flash drives, and dongles.

The 2024 Mac Mini features a compact design but is criticized for its limited ports and storage options.

Satechi will also offer a version of the hub without the NVMe enclosure for those seeking a simpler option.
