The CubeDock has an enclosure for an SSD as well as plenty of ports and connections to turn a Mac mini M4 Pro into an even more powerful and well-connected workstation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The new Satechi CubeDock is powered by the latest Intel Thunderbolt 5 chipset, which offers double the bandwidth and speed of Thunderbolt 4 and is backward compatible so that, even if you have a regular Mac mini M4 or any other Thunderbolt 4 computer, it will work just fine.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Because Thunderbolt 5 is the latest version of the interface\u2019s standard, your next Mac will probably include Thunderbolt 5 ports. Currently, the new higher speed ports are only available on the Mac mini M4 Pro model and MacBook Pro laptop. That could change soon and Thunderbolt 5 may become the standard with its 80Gbps bi-directional bandwidth and 120Gbps turbo bandwidth for external graphics, including full support for high-resolution, multi-monitor setups.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"absolute bottom-3 right-3 rounded-full bg-primary p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-primary\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>At the front of the Satechi CubeDock are USB-C and A ports with 10Gbps speeds and charging capability for smartphones. There are also memory card slots and a front mounted audio jack with input and output capability. <\/p>\n<p>SATECHI<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">Next-Generation Speed<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The Thunderbolt 5 CubeDock positively bristles with connections so let\u2019s dive in to see what Satechi has included in this innovative connectivity hub. The CubeDock comes with a 180W smart power supply that provides 140W host charging for your laptop as well as up to 30W PD to power and charge other accessories like smartphones, tablets or small notebooks like the MacBook Neo.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">On the base of the CubeDock is a snap-open compartment cover that reveals a bay for an M.2 2280 NVMe SSD. The bay supports 2230\/2242\/2260\/2280 M.2 NVMe SSD sizes with PCIe 4\u00d74 with a maximum capacity of 8TB and a top speed of 6000MB\/s depending on the SSD used in the bay.
