The Satechi M2 Hub destroys WiFi performance. Mine went from 250mbps to 25mbps, in the end had to use a network cable and powerline adapters which wasn't the original plan.
Thanks! Saw the new version and I think the fact that it's the same price as the original version, it's a no brainer. You're getting NVMe support, which is already the upgrade people wanted, but you're also getting upgraded USB C and USB A version 3.1 so the transfer speeds on the USB ports are doubled from 5gbps to 10gbps.
would be nice to get a dual enclosure like that with TB4 and full 40GB access to the m.2 NVME's. all of them seem to be limited to 5 or 10.I wouldn't edit off of it.
Unfortunately no. It gets recognized as a separate drive like an external, which can be ejected. So you would have to move files into it or choose to save files into the drive.
@@mattchungzcool…I bought the qwiizlab hub a few weeks ago and it emits a high-pitched sound that is just an absolute showstopper for me so I have to replace it. I’m looking at yours as an option. 👍🏻
Ah that’s annoying. Yeah the Satechi has been great. Except the first unit I got kept disconnecting the SSD and so when I left it to sleep and came back, I’d have a ton of "drive wasn’t ejected properly" notifications. I contacted Satechi and they sent me a new unit and have had no issues. They released a new version that supports an NVMe SSD so pick that one up!
I had that exact same hub and it ended up frying my SSD. It seems like It cant handle having to many items connected to it at once. Just a fair warning
I’ve heard of people having wifi issues but I never experienced it myself. I’ve noticed Satechi has lemons. Even my unit had an issue with constantly disconnecting from my Mac resulting in the "Didn’t eject properly” notification. I sent it back and Satechi sent me a new one. No issues with this one

By the way, the hub is $99
yeah in the USA elsewhere its like 150 i live in Mexico and it sucks how expensive it is...
Now the newer ones do support NVMW
Underrated UA-camr
Thank you for the support 🙏 much appreciated!
Great explaination - I was thinking about getting this hub and you helped me understand how to make sue of the SSD and the differences in types.
Glad it was helpful! Satechi released the NVMe version of the hub for the same price. Better choice to go with that version.
Great Video Matt, had this hub for a while was unable to do anything with this SSD until I saw your video. Thank you!
Glad I could help!

Mine has an NVME drive in it. Close to 1 gig read and write.
nice review.. have you seen the new satechi with NVMe support? thought?

100%! This really is only good for mass storage
I lately checked. The new model does take an NVME SSD.
they make a NVMe model now on amazon
Great Video, I think if you accidentally eject the drive, you can remount it in disk utility instead of unplugging and plugging it back in.
Thanks for sharing!
Great review. Just bought it. Considering getting a SSD hard drive.
Thanks! Hope it serves you well
Great video… Saludos desde Mexico.
Thank you!
thx !
thanks for the info!
Glad it was helpful!
@@mattchungz keep up the good work. you are better than a lot of youtubers with huge followings.
Thanks for the compliment!
I want to ask, when I connect it, does the memory become primary and everything is recorded on it?
Unfortunately no. It gets recognized as a separate drive like an external, which can be ejected. So you would have to move files into it or choose to save files into the drive.
Hi how much is the ram and memory ?
WiFi speed impaired with the satechi connected to the mini?
Nope it’s been fine for me
Any Wi-Fi connectivity issues?
I plug directly into Ethernet but the times where I used Wifi, I’ve had no issues

Thanks that heads up, I’ll keep an eye out on mine and update if anything changes
I tried this hub but my Mac Mini m1 lost Wi-Fi connectivity.
I sent it back.

ssd sata not fast enough rather use another ssd in my ugreen inclosure with a ssd nvme
Definitely a better option
Nice video💪🏾💪🏾🫡
Thanks!
i have it and love it.... but WHY DAMN Satechi ? why it don't support NVME !
They came out with a new version that supports NVME, for the same price! Also has faster usb ports
@@mattchungz FINALLY ! that's insane lol ... well, now i need sell my old one.
I’m in the same boat buddy
@@mattchungz just sold my old hub for the new one !
Great Videos ! Luckily the Hub NOW support NVMe :) Great option to expand the mac not paying Apple internal upgrade ! Abo
Thanks! I know, I’ll definitely upgrade
