Quality


Works well- ssd was easy to install


I paired it with a 2tb 990evo and it works flawlessly, the m2 should have came with front facing ports so this solves the issue.


I've had this product for a few month now install on a mac mini .


Was hesitant in getting this hub because of all the negative reviews, however i have two mini's so tried one to see how it would work.

Price


These work flawlesslyfor less than $125 cad, this a great enhancement for a mac mini.


My only grip is i feel like this is a bit over priced for what it is.

Packaging/appearance


After unpacking and installing the 1 tb memory card, i connected it to my m2.

Competitiveness


I was it had the sata slow as well or another nvme slot for the price.
