Please be informed that, due to the dimensions and form factor of the Stand&Hub, solid-state drives (SSDs) equipped with heatsinks and double-sided drives are not compatible with this enclosure.

The speed ratings shown for NVMe SSDs are usually based on internal testing using direct connections inside a computer (like an M.2 slot). When you use the SSD in an external enclosure—especially one using USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10Gbps)—you’ll likely see lower speeds, and that’s expected. This is because external enclosures use a different connection type that has its speed limits.

To make sure you’re getting the best results:
1. Ensure your NVMe drive is properly formatted (APFS or ExFAT).
2. Plug the enclosure into a USB-C port on your computer that supports 10Gbps speeds or more (look for USB 3.2 Gen 2 or a Thunderbolt/USB4 port).

You can also try:
- Testing with a different SSD.
- Reformatting the drive to a different supported format.
- Connecting the enclosure to another computer with a USB 3.2 Gen 2 or Thunderbolt port.

Finally, please make sure your system is up to date. We also recommend removing other USB-C devices and restarting your computer to refresh connections.

The M4 Mac Mini Stand & Hub with NVMe SSD Enclosure supports various NVMe M.2 SSD sizes, including M.2 2230, 2242, 2260, and 2280. This versatility enables users to select drives that align with their storage and speed needs, offering transfer speeds of up to 10 Gbps through USB-C Gen 2 technology.

Only supports NVMe M.2 PCIe Solid State Drives (SSDs). SSDs equipped with heatsinks and double-sided drives are NOT compatible with this enclosure.

The following SSDs have been tested:
- Samsung 980 Pro
- Samsung 990 Pro
- WD_Black SN850X
- WD_Black SN770
- WD PC SN740
- Crucial P3
- Crucial P3 Plus
- Nextorage Series
- Teamgroup T-Force Z5

Yes, as long as the SSD is an NVMe M.2 SSD(Does not support M.2 SATA), fits within one of the supported sizes (2230, 2242, 2260, 2280), and has a maximum capacity of 4TB, it should work with the hub's enclosure.
