UGREEN Mac Mini M6/M5 Pro/M4 Dock with DP 4K@240Hz Max Dual Display

It's exacltly as described. This is a USB hub in a useful shape with lots of bandwidth. It provides some useful ports and gives easier access to the power button, which is exactly what I wanted. I found that the NVME slot worked with a PCIe based drive and this worked the same as a USB pen drive - an icon on the desktop which can be ejected. This doesn't provide a drive linked onto the filesystem. The front USB-A connectors can't provide the power to run an external CD drive, but this is common with other USB hubs - I just use the front panel USB-C sockets with an adapter. I found that the display port wouldn't drive HDMI monitors via display port to HDMI video adapters or cables. These worked with other machines so it's a odd setup issue. I just used another USB-C hub instead. The speed of access and bandwidth provided was certainly fast enough. No complaints here.

Does exactly what it should. Clear access to the power button, perfectly sized and finished to match the Mac Mini, and the integrated cable keeps the connection neat. All my cabling now runs into the back of the dock, and I have installed a 4TB SSD. It’s all working perfectly so far. Very pleased with it, and I got it at a decent price.

I'm a big fan of UGreen products and have purchased quite a few over time. They nearly always nail a good balance between price and performance, and this Mac Mini dock is no exception. I paired it with my base M4 Mac Mini and a Lexar 1Tb NVMe SSD. Build quality is nice and it matches the Mac Mini aesthetic perfectly, with the bonus that it allows access to the stupidly placed Mac power button. I noted no discernible drop in my WiFi speeds with the Mac sitting on top of the dock, and all the extra ports are great. The only con I can mark it down for is that the internal drive slot is limited to 10Gbps, which is a good deal slower than most modern SSDs are capable of. Given that it connects to the Mac using the rear Thunderbolt 4 ports, it's disappointing. It would have been nice to see the full 40Gbps speeds.

After purchasing a Mac mini, the only thing that lets it down is the lack of ports for older usb 2 connections. Not every piece of kit I have is usb c. Having tried docking dongles and being completely unimpressed with them, gave this a go. Unbox it plug it in and bang. It’s there doing exactly what it says it will do. No iOS hissy fit, no downloading firmware (which I would expect from a Microsoft equivalent solution) just so easy to set up and add things too. I love it when things just work. No faffing about. All the additional ports I need I now have along with an additional monitor port. All in all excellent value for a plug and play solution.

Connects easily and instantly on my Mac Mini M4. Note that it takes 2 Thuenderbolt slots to connect but the high speed replacements are fine. Mini sits very nicely on top, says it helps with cooling but not tested that - mu Mini doesn't seem to run too hot anyway, fan has never come on. Nice cutaway at the back for access to the Mini's power switch. Comes with a little screwdriver to access the SSD slot - haven't installed one yet, but don't anticipate any issues. Nice bit of kit, well made and finished, matches the Mac perfectly, ports work fadt and effectively and also looks good.

I find I’m unable to drive a monitor from the DP, and because it takes up two of the three Mac mini thunderbolt ports I’m unable to use three monitors, and it’s not changed with Hz setting for a monitor, it just isn’t detected by the Mac. Maybe there’s a work around such as extra dock on the Mac, but the dual HDMI dock I have only mirrors. So it looks like a fail for me. And while there may be fixes like slim rubber pads, the dock (like most others on the market) can slide around.

slotted the Mac Mini M4 (2024) straight into this UGREEN dock under the desk – zero wobble, vents line up perfect, feels like it was made in cupertino. plugged in a single DP 1.4 cable to the LG 27GP950 and boom – 8K@120Hz HDR with full 10-bit colour, no compression, buttery smooth. swapped to the HDMI 2.1 port for the OLED telly downstairs and it’s pushing 4K@240Hz VRR for the PS5 pass-through. popped a 4TB Samsung 990 PRO NVMe in the M.2 bay – screws in with the included tool, shows up as external thunderbolt 4 drive at 2800 MB/s read/write. 2.5Gbe port maxes out my virgin 1 gig line, pings down to 4 ms. front USB-C 10Gbps charges the iPhone 16 at 30 W while transferring 8K ProRes raws to the SSD – no throttling. SD/TF 4.0 slots rip 312 MB/s off the Sony A7S III cards. aluminium shell stays finger-cool even with the Mini at 100 % load, rgb strip is subtle (or off in macos). £179 and it’s replaced a £400 caldigit ts4. if you’ve got the new Mini, this dock is a no-brainer.

I bought this to expand the storage on a new Mac Mini M4; to give me a second screen; and to give me extra ports for all my peripherals. So far it's all working brilliantly with a few caveats. With the DisplayPort if you want to connect it to HDMI then you need to have an "active" Displayport to HDMI cable, which costs a bit more. Also, the expansion M.2 NVME SSD works really well and is well fast enough to handle the average use case and small VMs, if you use it to store SharePoint/OneDrive mounts then the OS will keep a backup copy of the data on the internal SSD anyway so it's debatable whether it is a benefit to do that - you might as well store the mounts on the internal SSD.

Très pratique pour avoir des branchements supplémentaires et surtout pour l'accès au bouton de démarrage du mac sans soulever le mac. Niveau design s'adapte très bien et ne semble ne faire qu'un avec le mac. Je recommande cet article

This is the only Mac mini dock I have used so nothing to compare to. It was easy to hook up and works well. With the additional 2 Tb SSD that I inserted to the dock, it was well worth the price in comparison to what an internal harddisk of that capacity would have cost.

Great service on time product as advertised

Absolutely amazing at extending the usability of my mac mini. I chose the double USB - C connection version as the ports more closely matched my use case. All the ports work great and I never have any issues with connecting/disconnecting randomly like other docks can have. I rarely turn off or restart my mac mini and never have issues. If you are somewhere warm your mac mini can get warm. I changed my fan settings to accommodate this as the dock does cause it to warm up slightly more than without it. The temp change is not significant. The dock matches the look and size of the mac mini perfectly and installing the ssd I purchased was a breeze. Highly recommend over some cheaper options out there.

Great device
