A better solution would have been to make Thunderbolt compatible, but that would significantly increase its price, which is a reasonably affordable US$100.
#Usb 3 ssd for mac free
While it is certainly not the ideal Mac mini USB-C hub, it still leaves one Thunderbolt 3 port free on the rear of the Mac mini along with two additional USB-A (3.1 Gen 2) ports. Also included is a microSD and SD card reader and a 3.5 mm audio jack. These include a USB-C data port and three USB-A data ports - all of these run at a speed up to 5 Gbps but do not support charging, unfortunately. The Satechi hub also puts its ports on the front of the device with its USB-C plug connecting at the rear of the Mac mini - this of course makes it much easier to access the ports. While it only supports M.2 SATA SSDs, and not the faster M.2 NVMe SSDs, it is still much faster and more convenient than using a spinning external hard drive. I think it would go faster with an optimised ssd USB 3 case. Runs super fast for external, In black magic was giving 230mb/s read and write. With the Mac mini shipping only in Apple’s classic silver, Satechi has given it a fresh coat of paint to match while adding a very handy SSD enclosure. I plumbed a samsung 128gb SSD into a standard usb 3 case and installed windows 10. The accessory has been on the market for a couple years now but it has just been refreshed following the launch of the M1-powered Mac mini. One of its most interesting accessories is its multi-purpose Mac mini USB-C hub that also does double-duty as a stand. Satechi has been making Apple-focused accessories for a number of years now.
