If you want to expand your Mac Mini M4\u2019s storage, you\u2019re going to need to get creative. The Satechi USB4 NVME SSD enclosure is one way to do it, and it\u2019s going to cost you $63 to get right now, nearly half off its $120 MSRP.<\/p>\n

The Apple Mac Mini M4 comes with a few storage options, but, as everyone knows, every upgrade is particularly expensive. This tiny device lets you expand storage quite easily, allowing you to add up to 8TB of storage space across several common NVMe sizes \u2014 2230, 2242, 2260, and 2280. In this way, you can customize the drive to fit your needs, allowing you to swap SSDs based on your workflow.<\/p>\n

The enclosure makes it possible to reach transfer speeds of up to 40Gbps via the USB4 port. That means you can move 4K movies in seconds or 20GB of photos in half a minute. Performance stays steady no matter what you\u2019re doing, thanks to smart cooling via the built-in vents and an included thermal pad that helps dissipate heat. This was one of the things we loved most when we reviewed this SSD enclosure, when we gave it a 4.5-star rating and our Editors\u2019 Choice award.<\/p>\n

You do have to keep in mind that since this is built to fit under the Mac Mini M4, it only has a short 15cm USB-C cable. So you\u2019ll need an extra cable if you want to hook it up to an iMac or MacBook. But for Mac mini users, this hub can\u2019t be beat, especially while it\u2019s still on sale for $63.<\/p>\n
