The new Satechi USB-C Slim Dock is made for the M1 24" iMac, but can also be used with the M2 Mac mini, M1 Mac Studio, and most other Mac computers using a creative method. This innovative hub/dock with built in storage, is a great way to add additional storage to your M1 and M2 Mac computer quickly, and for less money than buying the space directly from Apple.
While this product was designed as a dock for your 24" iMac, we have found some creative ways to use this with other Mac computers. For example I use this hub with my 24" Mac mini and larger iMac without any issues and I have found a creative way to make that work. If you are interested in a storage hub for your M1 Mac Computer then please watch this video.

Craig Neidel, I love how you love your blue. Your talk is very conversational, relatable. Working a 50 hour week, having a life, and still sharing your discoveries? As long as your opinion isn’t behold to promote, and point out the good and the bad, that’s good, too.

@craigneidel Год назад

Thanks for the nice words and for watching. Yes, when I look at products just because it works for me I'm only one person. I like to do more of product showcases for that reason and I'm not really in a position to tell people what to buy. But, I do let people know if it works for me and if I had any issues. Thanks.

Craig... I really enjoy your videos. Good down-to-earth reviews and ideas. I normally do not subscribe to channels, but I have done so with yours. ☮

@craigneidel 7 месяцев назад

Thanks for the nice words and for watching the videos. I appreciate that for sure. I have many more products coming so I hope you enjoy them as well.

I use this hub also for my M2 14 Pro. Best of both worlds.

@craigneidel 10 месяцев назад

Yes, they work great on any mac system and it doesn't need to be the iMac.

@carolinesanderson5950 Год назад

Sensational. Looks amazing under the keyboard :)

@craigneidel Год назад

Thanks for watching. It's just another option out there with all these hubs but might be a good hub for some.

@carolinesanderson5950 Год назад

@@craigneidel It's definitely good to have options!

@Isengardtom Год назад

Nice - I have the blue iMac with only 256 GB and this is a pretty clean way to add some storage when I need it I should check if they sell in Europe

@craigneidel Год назад

Thanks for watching. I'm not sure they sell in Europe but I would take a peak to see if they do.

@OShackHennessy Год назад

Very clean looking hub indeed. Not a fan of the keyboard idea but for the iMac it’s hard to beat.

@craigneidel Год назад

Yes nice little hub and works great either way. Thanks

Might work on my 2013 iMac 27" with a ext Drive, It is a Cool product

@craigneidel Год назад

Thanks for watching. Just note that it only fits the stand on the 24" iMac.

The hub that fits under the mini: I read some folks are having issues with the wifi and bluetooth antennas being on the bottom of the mini- and this may contribute to the bluetooth issues...with suggestion of using the minisopuru as you have shown previously, or similar. The minisopuru seems good as it also allows more airflow around the device, but it has no usb a and I do need those for older peripherals, like dvd players.

@craigneidel Год назад

Thanks for watching and sharing. I have not had any wi-fi issues but it's possible I guess. I just have not seen any on my side.

@LordAlucar01 Год назад

variety is awesome but it does have its downs price is fine but issue is its wired so you need to pull it allways and im pretty sure im not patient enough to carefully pull it but for what it is it is awesome lift on keyboard and sits nicely on imac can also use double tape to hold it on hub so it stays there, i'd still prefer minisopuru because it lifts imac and having extra height seems far better plus its sturdy farctor and non slip(edit if green colour or orther colour comes out let me know please, ill 100% buy it)

@craigneidel Год назад

Thanks for watching and posting. Yes, there are pros and cons to this one for sure. The price is also more than the other hub I reviewed but in the end it's nice to know these companies are making different options for people.

@TheMetalMag Год назад

Apart from you telling thousand times you have a blue iMac (yeah we heard it once, that’s not the point of the video right) this is a great product that solves lot so things people have been telling on utube about missing ports etc. A good company and great idea ! I guess they are gonna sell good.

@craigneidel Год назад

We will see if it sell well. Yes, I mention the blue iMac but its more about having fun and explaining why I have a silver hub. In the end that is what my channel is about and not about a super finished production since it's only a hobby for me. I like to tell more of a story etc.

@DutchAussieProductions Год назад

Thanks for the video, Craig. Does it fit over the Mac mini? You have a new subscriber.

@craigneidel Год назад

Thank you. No this is really only for the 24" iMac but will fit under the keyboard like I showed even though that is not how it is intended to be used.

@Kev4Kev Год назад

Why does it only support up to 2tb drives is this a real limitation or they just put that there due to lack of general availability of 4tb and 8tb drives ? How does this look with the 27inch iMac any photos of that ?

@craigneidel Год назад

Not sure but that is what they listed so it might be a hardware limitation. This would not fit on the stand of a 27" iMac and only the 24".

@MrCartmanazi Год назад

the case when I learned about the product 3 weeks ago, not as usual from you, but I did not take it because I'm pretty sure that they should make it in green, but so far not

@craigneidel Год назад

Yes, I hope they come out with some other colors for sure.

@madness8556 Год назад

How does this compare to the Midisopuru imac dock?

@craigneidel Год назад

About the same just different form factor. Both nice for basic storage when you don't need thunderbolt 4 speed.

@madness8556 Год назад

@@craigneidel thanks for the reply. Is there any advantage between one or the other when it comes to connectivity? My local JB Hifi store does have the Satechi in stock at a discount price at the moment so I'm leaning towards it because it doesn't appear that the Midiopuro one is available in Australia.

@craigneidel Год назад

@@madness8556 I really do the showcase videos since I don't do long term testing . But so far the satechi has worked good but it could depend on ssd etc.

@bryans8656 Год назад

I like the idea of using that dock with a 24" iMac but I would be reluctant to use it under my keyboard. I think it would raise the keyboard too high and force my wrists to bend excessively. Craig, I've been a subscriber for a while now and really want to see your channel grow, so I'm hoping you won't be offended if I make a suggestion. I think it would attract more subscribers if you tightened up your scripts, for less wordiness and repetitions, and spent less time on your intros.

@craigneidel Год назад

The typing is actually pretty good with the dock under the keyboard. Since I have my 50 hour a week job I need to create these quickly but in the future I'll tighten things up.
