This Near-Free Ugreen Dock Gives Your M4 Mac Mini Up to 8TB of Storage and 11 Expansion Ports

The Mac Mini has always been a seriously good-looking desktop computer, and each new version gets faster and more powerful while keeping the same classic good looks. UGREEN knows a good look when it sees one, so when they made a new dock and stand that gives the new M4 Mac Mini 11 ports of expansion and up to 8TB of expanded storage, they made look like it’s actually part of the Mini itself.

The best part of the UGREEN M4 Mac Mini Dock and Stand? It’s never been priced lower than it is right now at Amazon, where a limited-time 26% off deal turns it into a $67 must-buy for M4 Mac Mini owners. If you’ve already sprung for the newest M4 Mac Mini, the last thing you want to do is kill its good looks with a mass of tangled cables and extension drives. The UGREEN dock and stand can handle all of those cables, and it eliminates the need for any more extra storage.

Twinning Is Winning

You couldn’t be faulted if you mistook the UGEEN M4 Mac Mini Dock and Stand for the Mini itself. It has the same dimensions and gently curved design that’s made the Mini so popular, and it sits seamlessly beneath the Mini, connected by a well-concealed 4cm USB-C host cable. The dock has a built-in power button so you don’t have to lift the Mini to turn it on or off.

At the bottom of the dock there’s a compartment with a solid-state drive interface — the key to the UGREEN dock’s enormous storage potential. It supports M.2 NVMe SSDs of up to 8TB — you have to supply the SSD, but it’s potentially a nearly 8x upgrade to the Mac Mini’s built-in storage, which tops out at 512GB. Once installed, the data you move back and forth between the UGREEN dock and the Mac Mini moves at a screaming-fast 10Gbps.

Ports Like Crazy

There are enough expansion ports contained within the modestly sized UGREEN M4 Mac Mini Dock and Stand for all of your devices and parallel devices: 3× USB-A 3.2 (10Gbps), 2× USB-A 3.0 (5Gbps), 2× USB-C 3.2 (10Gbps), and a UHS-II SD/TF card reader (104MB/s). The dock can draw power from the Mini, or you have the option of powering it separately with an external adapter if you’re connecting numerous devices — especially multiple monitors.

This lowest-ever Amazon price of $67 for the UGREEN M4 Mac Mini Dock and Stand is a golden opportunity to give your new Mini huge storage, outstanding data-transfer speed, and ultimate connectivity with one device that is designed to blend perfectly with the Mini — so much so that on first glance most people won’t even notice it’s not a part of the Mini.
