GoKawiilThere are 100s of different docking stations and USB-C hubs for your Mac mini. They all tend to look and do roughly the same thing: they add a variety of additional ports to your Mac.

Let’s first talk about all the ports you get with this dock, because at its core, it’s still a high-quality USB-C docking station that just happens to look really cool. There are two versions that have slightly different port selection. I will differentiate the two.

4x USB-A (USB 3.2 Gen 2, 10Gbps)
2x USB-C (USB 3.2 Gen 2, 10Gbps) USB-C host connection to Mac mini
SD and microSD card slots (UHS-II)
M.2 NVMe SSD slot up to 8TB
Headphone jack
5in IPS 720P display
