Mac mini owners have always had to live with a short port list \u2014 Ugreen’s new RevoDok MaxiDok 10-in-1 Thunderbolt 5 dock aims to fix that without cluttering your desk. The accessory is designed to sit directly beneath the Mac mini M4, matching its aluminum finish and square footprint. It goes on general sale via Amazon.co.uk from March 24, 2026, priced at \u00a3249.99 for the 10-in-1 model, with a larger 17-in-1 flagship at \u00a3419.99.<\/p>\n

The ports<\/h2>\n

The dock packs a serious amount of I\/O into that Mac mini-sized chassis. Front and back together provide two Thunderbolt 5 ports, three USB-A 3.2 ports, an SD 4.0 card slot, a DisplayPort 2.1 output (capable of 8K at 60 Hz), and a USB-C port with up to 65W Power Delivery for charging a laptop alongside your Mac. The built-in M.2 NVMe slot accepts drives in 2230, 2242, 2260, and 2280 sizes with B+M Key and M Key compatibility \u2014 so you can drop in almost any standard NVMe SSD.<\/p>\n

Thunderbolt 5 brings real bandwidth headroom: 80 Gbps bidirectional, jumping to 120 Gbps in Bandwidth Boost mode for unidirectional transfers. That’s roughly three times the throughput of most external drives on the market today, which matters if you’re editing high-resolution video or working with large RAW files directly off an external disk.<\/p>\n

The value case<\/h2>\n

The price undercuts the main competition by a meaningful margin. The OWC Thunderbolt 5 Dock runs around \u00a3329 and CalDigit’s TS5 is closer to \u00a3369 \u2014 the Ugreen comes in \u00a380\u2013\u00a3120 cheaper while matching or exceeding both on port count and adding the integrated SSD bay, which neither rival includes at this price.<\/p>\n
