The Stand & Hub with M.2 SSD Enclosure for Apple Mac Mini and Mac Studio from Satechi uses one of the USB-C ports of your Mac Mini or Mac Studio to expand its connectivity by adding another USB-C port, three USB-A ports, two card readers, and an audio jack. There is also a built-in SSD enclosure that can hold an NVMe or SATA M.2 drive to expand storage without needing to plug in an external SSD. For an easier installation, the M.2 screw and a screwdriver is included.
Serving as a stand and docking station, your Mac Mini or Mac Studio slots onto this hub seamlessly and maintains a consistent aesthetic, connecting in the back with the integrated USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 cable. The dual USB-A 3.2 Gen 1 ports offer speeds up to 5 Gb/s for peripherals such as keyboards, mice, and flash drives, while the USB-A and USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 ports offer up to 10 Gb/s transfer speeds each for more demanding peripherals. Take information from your camera, tablet, or other device that uses SD or microSD cards using the included UHS-I SDXC and microSDXC card reader slots, both of which may be used simultaneously. For meetings and entertainment, plug a headset into the 3.5mm audio combo jack.
