So far so good. The ssd and sd access speeds are just as advertised. Audio device works fine, and far handier than the poorly designed front port. Really bad design for getting the ssd installed—you have to tear off the rubber feet (which damages the glue) and the screws (and placement) are frustrating. Otherwise, best option I’ve seen to date.

The best docking around for fast data transfer with external M.2 SSD in the dock. Additional USB connections also very strong and it compliments the Mac Mini very well. It's a little more expensive than other similar docking stations but it does the job so much better. Read more

That was exactly what I was looking for. Compact, sleek device with additional ports as well as additional storage capabilities. One complain I have - not very easy to add SSD to the storage, but this is common problem for all devices of this kind. Prepare yourself to use screwdriver and patiently open storage enclosure and deal with very tiny screws. Once done - everything works great though. Highly recommended. Read more

Only great when it works, which is NOT often enough. I got myself the model B, which has one NVME slot for high TB5 speeds. It can indeed get blazingly fast and worked great at first, but very quickly began to dismount my NVME at random. In fact, it's more than just the M.2 NVME SSD, it's the whole Beelink dock itself that dismounts. I've confirmed this by connecting other drives, and those will stop working too. The typical recommendation in such cases is to provide a dedicated power source to the Beelink, but I've been doing this since the start. It doesn't make a difference at all. Speeds will drop drastically at random, usually followed by dismounts shortly after. And these aren't safe dismounts... it's the sort of thing that makes the Mac show an error message in the top right corner, notifying that the drive was improperly ejected. This has happened over a dozen times in just the last few weeks. It's a bummer, because the product is quite aesthetic, but it's entirely useless if it can't reliably keep my drives connected to my Mac. Read more

This hub performs as promised and expected. It fulfills a need for many Mac Mini M4 users. I have been pleased with its performance, especially regarding the transfer speed of an installed SSD. As a user installing my own SSD I found the process difficult and frustrating. (1) Instructions tell users to remove the silicone pads on the bottom of the Mate Mini. I had to use a razor blade to remove the pads, destroying them. (2) The user must remove *a lot* of small screws to access the SSD bay. I felt fortunate that I lost only one of the especially tiny screws within the interior. (3) Instruction tell installer to secure the SSD with a screw to an interior post. Problem--there is no screw supplied. Even with my difficulties I got the SSD installed and it works flawlessly. I am happy, but the engineers working on the Mate Mini clearly did not make an effort to make installation user-friendly. Read more
