Since the M1 models generate less waste heat, the problem should less relevant. With the predecessor, it was the case that the mini then noticeably increased the fan speed. All the waste heat from the hub finds its way into the Mac mini. You should also note that the hub finds its place underneath the Mac mini. These are available with larger capacities. Why no normal 2.5″ SSDs are supported is surprising. Therefore, it is not surprising that Satechi only supports SATA SSDs in M.2 format.

However, this is also due to Apple’s implementation of USB in M1 Macs – it has become common knowledge that they are often slower than their Intel counterparts. The connection is a maximum of 5 GBit/s, which is not even the maximum that the standard with 10 GBit/s could deliver. The Satechi model offers two SD card slots, one audio, three USB-A ports and one USB-C. There is a new model from Satechi, which should soon find its way to Amazon. You have a Mac mini and want to upgrade a few external ports and connect an external SSD at the same time? And the whole thing should also look good? Then hubs that are based on the Mac mini’s design are a good option for you.
