With the Galaxy S22 line dropping and a new Iphone on it's heels, can thje pixel hold its weight until the next revision of the Pixel 7 and should you even buy this thing.
nice review... i am looking at this dock for my new MM, and was just wondering if there might be any room to put the M.2 drive in a heat sink or add some heat padding or something
I have a question … can you connect usb c on the back of the qwiislab to an IPhone instead of the Mac … say I wanted to connect an usb midi keyboard and play into my iPhone? Would the iPhone be charged and able to send audio to headphones while receiving midi input … ?
In regards to the unit moving when inserting items into the various ports, can’t you just use same adhesive like blue tack to hold it in place?
Goofy setup
And do you recomend the hub?
The dock looks good, one question of mine, does usb can charge the phone when mac mini is in sleep?
Could you provide a link to the AC power 5A adapter?
Link?
hey, can i ask a question? did you manage to boot from the Qwiizlabs SSD?
Why in the world didn't you run a BlackMagic test on your internal SSD right after testing the NVMe drive so we could see the difference? I'm guessing the speed wasn't that much different.
I hope you are backing up to the cloud. All your hard drives are connected to the M1. I had an iMac which was shipped with bad memory. It corrupted every drive attached. The only thing that saved my data was an online backup.
Forget how it looks. I think you should take the Qwiizlab device, put it aside the mini and have it turned upside down so the hot air can escape through the vent.
Will this work with the 18?
Has anyone else experienced a significant loss in wifi speed with the quiizlab connected to Mac Mini? If so what did you do to remedy the situation
Buen video, felicidades, sigue así
great video by the way
use a seperate power supply for the hub not the included usb c to a cable as it will not supply enough power you will need a min of a 3amp power supply but i sudgest 5 amp if you can get one i had this hub and it worked great how ever a webcam i had hooked in blew the hub on me i was not happy when the camera die and took the hub with it thankfully it did not harm my mac mini m1
What power block do you use to power your Quiizlabe with a 5 watt output?
I got the Hagbis branded version of this, with the addition of a Displayport on the back... Sadly, mine was unreliable. Both drives randomly dropped out, an my Displayport output was abnormally tinted Magenta and green. These hubs are cheap as... but they are still Chinesium. The quality is only _just good enough._ Mine fell below that line, and was bad. I honestly wish this would be released with a power jack and a brick. I really feel like these would be better powered.
Those speeds are in gigaBITS per second, not gigaBYTES
Just got one today. Feels just like an Otterbox.
I have a similar M1 Mac set up Nice review
Thanks! FYI: Gbps speed rating is giga "BITS" ( lower case 'b' after the G means bits while capital 'B' is bytes ) , so 10 Gbps is 10 giga bits per second. Would like to see which 5 amp 30 watt charger was used but do appreciate the mention of this issue as I'm suspicious of any dock that isn't self-powered.
Lol I know I realized after the edit I said it wrong multiple times in the video 🤣. Ill see if I can get a name brand for the wall brick I bought, it came from amazon. The dock is self powered but there were some issues with this dock and others with the mac mini thunderbolt port getting to hot and failing die to to much power draw. This wall brick powers the dock so it only uses the thunderbolt port for data transfer
Not aluminum? Qwiizlab says that the UH25 Pro (looks like the one you review) is made of aluminum alloy on their site...
It looks and feels like aluminum but it is in fact plastic but it does look pretty spot on.
Great review. Like you I use an external power source.
Does the edge of the case have a rubbery feel to it like a hard rubber?
It does
I do wonder, is the fingerprint circle noticeable on screens that are mostly bright colors or white? Also, can you feel it much with your finger or S-Pen?
Excellent coverage of all the questions I could not get answered on other videos, such as actual speed of an NVME drive with this hub enclosure, and how to carefully locate it beneath the Mac Mini - it does look much better below. Now all I need to do is locate where I can find the rubber feet to elevate the hub enclosure for added airflow. Thanks much.
Very informative! Thank you 😊
Thanks for this great review. Thinking about buying the m2pro mac mini. This would fit my needs perfectly.
What are you using to power it? I’ve heard and read a lot about the drive(s) disconnecting when the Mac goes to sleep, have you seen this, and if so, how are you dealing with it?
I heard about this as well. I don’t recall the video I saw, but I read a comment that says it’s just an error message caused by the M1 system and not to worry, because the Mac Mini properly disconnects all peripherals when it goes to sleep.
By the way, I have a Mac Mini and have not had this issue at all. I’m assuming Apple either fixed this in one of their updates.
Thanks for reviewing the case; especially regarding the preservation of the S pen functionality. This is what was missing from all the other videos I've watched!
Your phone is interfering with the mike audio, audible during most of the video during the first 4 minutes.
Are you just using a phone charger brick for the 5 amp power port?
Love from malaysia! Keep creating great videos!
Thanks man very useful
I bought the base M1 Mini two years ago. In less than a week, it replaced both my 2014 i7 iMac and 2009 Mac Pro (both long sold). I am not a content creator but rather an advanced enthusiast and use the Mini as the center of my work and administrative life. Two years later, I still think of the Mini as my NEW computer. While I am looking forward to Apple's next Mini, iMac and Mac Pro offerings, I feel no urgency to upgrade. I may wait until used and refurb Mac Studios start to become available and look for a decent bargain.
I use a mac pro 2010 with full RAM. it is getting too small in sense of using old safari, too many action like opening pdf, videos and picts. During the last years i added everything possible. I love this possibility. But now I am looking for a replacement. Besides my old and lovely desktop i own old iphones, macbook, imac and a new ipad pro 2020. the studio might be too expensive, but now I got the advice to wait for the mac mini 2. another idea?
How does it work in multitasking? Can it too many apps?
I have a similar M1 Mac set up. And I have been using that quiizlab hub with it for some months, and it works fine with two SSD's. It's a very nice and relatively inexpensive storage solution as your video clearly shows. Nicely done. Stay well.
You have been very lucky indeed. I'm on my 3rd and 4th units, They self eject the larger ssd units by themselves.
Is it also possible to connect it to your iPhone through the back in stead of the Mac mini? I would like to connect other devices to my phone like midi and audio interfaces while charging the phone at the same time…. Just looking for additional features.
Have you tried the setechi hub???
They are not powered, if you are running some drives, even memory sticks and so forth, you really need a powered hub!
I recently upgraded my 2015; MacBook pro with Macmini 16gb/1TB SSD. I do lots of photo editing as a landscape photographer. I use the MX Master keyboard along with Wacom Intuos. Love it so far. Didn't want to wait for the upcoming M2 😁
Good video
Thanks!
The M1 is great. You can get as much as $150 to $200 off if you catch them on sale.
They are selling cheap when on sale, maybe in anticipation of an m2 mac mini🤔
Thanx for video
Going on what they did with the new MacBook Air, I wouldn't be surprised if they keep the M1 Mac Mini for sale at the same price. And then a New re-designed Mac Mini with M2 for £/$150-200 more.
Nice review. I like the added rubber feet for heat distribution and adding an external power source to power the SSDs based on other stuff I have read and seen. I plan on using an Iphone 20W (5V at 3A) charger. I also got the Samsung 970 EVO Pro. Fast for future proofing....
Thanks glad you liked the review. Enjoy the hub it’s almost like it’s an accessory that’s needed for a clean look on your desk.
Have you tried using the hub with your iPhone connected to the back instead of the Mac mini…. Does it charge your phone and send an receive data???
thank you bro
Your welcome I got a few more reviews to come with accessories so stay tuned
I recently bought an M1 MacBook Pro (16GB memory and 1TB storage) for a great deal. Same performance specs as Mac mini. Worth it, a big upgrade compared to my old Intel MacBook. My advice is to find a good deal for one with the higher 16GB memory spec. More storage on a desktop computer can be connected externally without too much inconvenience. But you can’t upgrade the memory, and 16GB (instead of 8GB) will future-proof it better as MacOS and apps advance, leaving Intel behind during the next 5 years.
Thinking to go for a mini now.Should i go for the mini that's available or wait for the m2 version of same? Secondly, will there be price differences between the m1 mm(16gb/512) and m2 mm(16gb/512) Need help since I have the budget for m1 mm one..thanks
That’s a tough question to answer so close to a hardware announcement from apple. That being said going along the lines of the MacBook airs, because I kinda consider the Mac mini the air of desktops, the M1 is still very capable especially the 16gb/512 model. The M2 hasn’t even been announced yet and it would come down to the price increase of the M2. A lot of people are choosing the M1 MacBook Air over the M2 because of heat and throttle issues. Will we on the Mac mini suffer the same fate? If I was in the market today I would go with the tried and proven M1, and give apple time to work out issues with the M2 if any are gonna come up. Apple products normally don’t loose value quickly. So maybe go the M1 for now and upgrade towards the end of the M2 cycle, you’ll save money and any issues will be out in the open before you sell the M1 and update to the M2. I normally run last year apple products, I rock a 12 pro max just purchased and run a base M1 Mac mini even though the newest is right around the corner, we know the issues with both products and can work with them. As long as your not editing a Disney Pixar movie the M1 will be more then enough for the average consumer in our current economy.
@@regularguyreviews8002 How much Ram does your Mini use while idling(no apps open)? I have been hearing that 13 of the 16GB were being used by just the OS after Monterey updates and I was concerned that just a few years might have already impacted any future proofing the 16GB might have once offered at launch.
