Your Mac Mini’s best friend isn’t made by Apple, and definitely isn’t priced like it’s made by Apple. The UGREEN Mac Mini M4 Dock & Stand with NVMe SSD Enclosure is down to $55 at Amazon right now, 39% off from its regular $90. That’s $35 off for a dock that doubles as a stand, an NVMe enclosure, and an 11-port hub, all precision-fit to the M4’s unique footprint.
The Mac Mini M4 and M4 Pro are genuinely impressive machines for the money, but Apple’s rear-only port layout has always been irksome. Plugging in an SD card or a USB drive means reaching around to the back. The UGREEN dock sits under the Mac mini and brings three USB-A 3.2 ports (10Gbps each), two USB-A 3.0 ports (5Gbps), two USB-C 3.2 ports (10Gbps), and a UHS-I SD/TF card reader up to 170MB/s to the front or accessible face of the stand. Think of these 11 ports as the ones the M4 should have shipped with in the first place.

Monster Storage Potential
The built-in M.2 NVMe enclosure is what separates the UGREEN from most other hubs. It accepts any standard-size M.2 NVMe SSD and supports up to 8TB of capacity at 10Gbps transfer speeds. For anyone running 4K video editing, large backup workflows, or just running out of the M4’s built-in storage, dropping an NVMe drive into the enclosure gives you fast internal-feeling storage that’s physically part of the dock. The SSD isn’t included, but any compatible M.2 NVMe drive fits, and it’s a far more secure external storage option than a USB drive.
The UGREEN dock is also thoughtful about the little stuff. A power button lever on the front means you can turn on the Mac Mini on without tilting the unit or blindly groping around to the back. Anti-slip silicone pads protect the Mini’s bottom surface. The included cable is 4cm — short enough to keep the connection tidy rather than adding a loop of slack to your desk.
Perfect Fit
UGREEN engineered this dock to match the M4’s exact dimensions and curves,…
