Review on Dock for Mac Mini Satechi Mac Mini Stand & Hub (ST-ABHFM) by Dimitar Borisov ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

It works, but I don't think I'll be buying it again.

I don't see the point in occupying a MacMini's type-c connector to get a USB 3.0 extension cable With the same success, you can buy a USB hub - USB

Pros
  • Convenient to place under MacMini
Cons
  • Cuts the speed of the outputs that the poppy has. I work with two monitors and my mac mini only has one hdmi output. Therefore, I connect the second monitor via type-c. There is one type-c left to connect ssd type-c to get really good disk speed. The docking station is connected via type-c, but at the output it gives the usual USB 3.0 speed, and not 3.2 as the computer itself can. As a result, a new SSD drive connected through the computer connector shows a speed of 780-800, and through the docking station connector 350, like the previous generation ssd drive. Just twice the speed. Also, you can’t connect a monitor with an adapter to hdmi through this type-c USB connectors - all 3.0
