Then how is it tha I've owned so many of them over the years that didn't work? I use this one with an M1 MacMini (silver color) and find the color match is ideal. I also have a couple disk drives that match the "stack" -- so I have four "mini" stacked up and it makes a great form factor and tons and tons of capacity. Incidentally, one of my disk drives is used daily and the other, though constantly connected, is only a backup drive using backup software programmed to back it all up about once per week. I always by 256Gb (startup drive) Macs and then store my data on external drives or in the cloud. But any external drive is backed up frequently. As to the dock, I think one reason that it works is because USB-C has more channels/I/O capacity that older USB-A computers. All of my permanent drives are plugged in the back of the MacMini and the front receptacles on this hub are for one off reads or writes. I like this one particularly because it has a "well" into which. the MacMini sinks and fits perfectly....so they never come out of alignment. Also, this one also has a USB-C front port....whereas most competitors are USB-A only. This was also one of those rare items that came in one day without extra charge...which means it must be warehoused locally. It is an "desertcart Favorite" (which means they've had less complaints and returns about it than others in this category). It is truly plug and play...no software required...however, after plugging it in, reboot the Mac for the dock to be fully recognized. So far....highly recommend... (But I buy a lot of desertcart stuff and have learned that "desertcart Favorites" rarely disappoint.) Review: Very functional and just as advertised. - This dock is awesome, I love all the front facing ports, the color is spot on, perfectly integrates. I've not tested all the IO ports yet, but the usb a and usb c are working fine. Really happy with this item for the price. I was also looking at one with a memory expansion/external drive built it, however I have existing external NVMEs that are not in use. So I opted to keep it simple, use existing drive and save a little money on that option. The additional port options is so amazing, unreal convenience to them, from being used to working from the backside. Thanks for this one, I love it. ## Features - Refined & Seamless Design - Meticulously crafted to complement your Mac Mini, featuring a brushed finish and space grey aluminum alloy.

 If we can test and perfect it to where we are happy, you never know what may come in the future. Thanks for choosing Satechi!! Feel free to reach back out for any inquires. - Jim T. (Satechi Tech Support) **Q: When will satechi offer a silver version with usb-c cable position optimized for 2020 mac mini m1?** A: Our leadership is discussing coming out with a new model to match the color/frame of the new M1 Mac Mini, but that may be a couple months away. **Q: When will you have a similar unit with user accessible/replacable storage?** A: We are not planning on releasing one in the near future, but your feedback is greatly appreciated and will be taken into consideration on future releases.
 Thanks for choosing Satechi!! Feel free to reach back out for any inquires. - Jim T. (Satechi Tech Support) **Q: Will this work for the new m1 Mac mini?** A: This is a great add for my 2018, ie “2020” Mac mini but mine is not the M1. Based on my research I would think it could but double check the Thunderbolt connection. I recently bought an external HD that would not work on my 2018 model because the drive used a USB-C 3.1 and I guess mine are 3.0. I got it to work using the normal USB but that wasn’t my goal. You may experience the same here. You’re basically trading a Thunderbolt port to add 2 USB and media card slots. I’d try it and return if it doesn’t or check the manufacturer’s website ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Looks nice, works great... *by J***N on October 25, 2021* Conceptually a hub is a fairly simple item....right?

I was also looking at one with a memory expansion/external drive built it, however I have existing external NVMEs that are not in use.

Thanks for this one, I love it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Looks and works great! *by C***Y on November 3, 2025* This thing has the perfect look and fit. Works great. Edit: Downgraded from 5 Stars to 4. Overall I'm happy with it because I like having ports up front...but the Front USB-C port passed through from the Mac mini only get's about half the data transfer to an external SSD vs Plugging the external SSD directly in the same port on the Mac mini that the hub uses. Not a show stopper for me, but it's a bit disappointing. ## Frequently Bought Together - Satechi USB C Hub - Type-C Aluminum Stand & Hub - USB-C Data Port, Micro/SD Card Readers, USB 3.0 & Headphone Jack Port - for Mac Studio, Mac mini M2/M1 (Not Compatible with M4) - Space Gray - 2018 Apple Mac Mini with 3.2GHz Intel Core i7 (32GB RAM, 512GB SSD) Space Gray (Renewed) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/168486580-aluminum-stand-and-hub-for-mac-mini](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/168486580-aluminum-stand-and-hub-for-mac-mini) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-26*
