Satechi, a maker of computer, phone, and tablet accessories known for sleek and clever designs, has another banger on its hands.
First shown at CES 2025, the Mac mini M4 Stand and Hub adds more storage and additional ports to Apple’s latest Mac mini.
In particular, it adds three USB-A ports, a memory card reader, and the possibility to add SSD storage up to 4TB, thus greatly expanding the Mac mini’s maximum 2TB of storage. It also has a fan that should help cool the Mac mini, and it looks pretty much like a flatter version of Apple’s miniature computer, meaning it won’t ruin its sleek look on your desk.
The hub complements the Mac mini’s design, while adding a ton of additional ports and storage.

But the coolest feature of Satechi’s new hub is the recess on the back left side, allowing you to easily reach the Mac mini’s power button without lifting it.

That’s right, Apple placed the new M4 Mac mini’s power button on the bottom, requiring one to lift the device a little to reach it. But with the Satechi’s new hub, the feat should be a little easier to perform.
The Satechi hub connects to the Mac mini via a short Thunderbolt cable, meaning it will take up one of its ports on the back, but it’s probably a fair trade for the added functionality.
Satechi’s new Mac Mini M4 Stand & Hub with SSD Enclosure will hit the market in February for a price of $99.
