UGREEN Mac mini M4 Dock and Stand DP Hub for Mac mini M4 and M4 Pro 2024 with M.2 NVMe SSD Enclosure, 4K144Hz DP,10G USB A/C, SD/TF, Audio

I really love this dock so far. It works well, it doesn't make my Mac's heating issues worse. Because I actually carry my Mac Mini around from home to office, it makes it very easy to bring it to my office and plug in one or two plugs and I'm set. I'm not using the M.2 drive slot, but I'm glad that's an option if I need more storage. I would love it more if I didn't have to take my Mac Mini back and forth, but at least it makes it much easier to do so. It is well designed; it looks cohesive with my mac, and it feels sturdy. It also perfectly fits the mac without stifling its ability to exhaust. The DisplayPort out absolutely supports 4K at least at 60Hz, which is a good plus. (I can't speak for higher resolutions or refresh rates because that's the limit of my monitor.)One thing I would have loved is the addition of an ethernet port (the wifi in my office kind of sucks and there's nothing I can really do about it), but I was able to solve that by using a USB-C ethernet adapter. Either that or I would have liked another HDMI port. Additionally, I was originally looking for an HDMI version of this, but it doesn't seem like there is a variant of this one like that. I am planning on also trying this out with a second monitor to see how well it holds up, but it also only has one DisplayPort out, so I will either have to use the HDMI out on the Mac Mini or one of the thunderbolt ports to HDMI.

Awesome, speedy hub for your mac mini.Expands the ports very nicely, and allows you to add and m.2 nvme ssd to it as well.I put a 1tb in mine for now, which greatly improves the mini's storage capacity.Having the sd card readers right on the front is incredibly convenient since I have to transfer video files a lot for my business.Only downside is it takes 2 thundebolt ports, but it is also faster than any other hub or dock that I have tried.

Pros:• Great match with Mac Mini design• SSD slot up to 8 TB, fast transfers• Ample USB‑A/C ports + SD card reader• Solid buildCons:• Occupies 2 Thunderbolt ports• Only one DisplayPort monitor• Occasional audio noise when off• SSD speeds capped at 10 Gbps

Be careful with this. If you have multiple monitors choose wisely and get the one with the double usb connector. Otherwise your secondary displays seem not to function.

Instant buy for Mac Mini owners. Fits perfectly below your Mac Mini and allows you to have a lot more ports. Adding an SSD is also very easy.

I simply can not recommend this hub, if you bought this thinking you could use it for the displayport slot and nvme and usb ports, you would sadly be disappointed. Even though it takes up 2 of your 40gbps thunderbolt ports. It has a total bandwidth of 10gbps. This means if you are using a high fps 4k monitor, your nvme and usb ports will be disabled or it will cause your monitor to disconnect. It also does noticeably lower your wifi connection speed due to being right by the antenna. if you only want this for the usb ports and nvme slot, it will work fine but it takes up 2 thunderbolt ports which isn't worth the tradeoff. stick to an nvme encloure and separate usb hub instead or one that only uses 1 connection. the marketing images were pretty misleading of the capabilities of this device and I have to return it.

This dock has a couple major issues. First is that it uses 2 of the TB4 ports capable of 40gbps but is limited to 10gbps. I'm not sure what the point of having 2x10gbps connections is when there could just be 1x40gbps connection and an extra port. The second major flaw with this device is that is will greatly diminish the Mac Mini's WiFi connection. The antennas on the Mac Mini are on the bottom plastic cover. The metal dock sitting underneath the Mac Mini creates a lot of interference. This is obviously not an issue if you're using ethernet but if you rely on WiFI DO NOT BUY this dock or other docks like it. If you're using WiFI find a dock that sits on top of the Mac Mini or better yet one that docks the Mini vertically on it's side for the best WiFi signal. Unfortunately I discovered a lot of this after my return window closed so it's just e-waste now.

It’s okay. As an M4 mini dock it’s fine. Nothing to write home about. It would be amazing if it was 30-40% cheaper. Also it uses two connections on your computer. The bad news is it’s an all in one cable with a two port plug that fits the Minis rear ports. Probably never going to work on anything else, but to be fair it is a M4 mini dock.My guess is you’d be better off with the one with no Display Port, but also to be clear it’s okay and I’m not sending mine back. It’s not a great value or device but not so bad that I want a different one.
