Review on 🔌 Satechi Type-C Stand & Hub with SSD Enclosure – Innovative Patented Design – Ideal for M.2 SATA SSD, USB-C Data Port, Micro/SD Card Readers, USB-A & Headphone Jack Port - Compatible with 2020 M1 Mac Mini (Silver) by Adolfo Goins

In addition to the fact that the SSD is only M.2 SATA, not NVMe (which is a shame - half the speed), the M.2 drive I bought is allowed for reading speed > 500 Mbit/s. and only about 320 MB is achieved by this device. Not ideal if you plan to use it to edit 4K footage from the device's hard drive. I use my Sandisc Extreme Portable SSD for this. I also tried using the front SD card reader port to upload footage from my Canon as well as the SD card from my Rodecaster Pro, but neither showed up. I was trying to use an external reader via one of the front USB ports and it took almost a minute for the device to be recognized on my Mac and the transfer speed was incredibly slow... Now I need to read footage and podcasts via native USB C stream my mac , essentially rendering these ports useless, and the built-in drive is only good for archiving or maybe backing up a time machine. I hope they make a better version that supports NMVe and has better functionality in general. I like the products of this company, but in my opinion it was a failure.
