That "weird" connector is simply USB 3.0 "B" connector. The "A" connector is the one normally found on the computer. Prior to USB 3 the "B" connector was a simple square, but 3.0 needs more wires. They could hide those inside the "A" connector, but "B" and "micro-B" needed to get bigger. The "micro-B" stayed thin, but about 2x as wide as the 2.0 "micro-B". Then USB "C" connector has even more wires. :)

Daaaaaaamn you Lamar (Shaking my fist at you), my wallet can’t take all of the pressure! Another recommended product I HAVE to buy for my Mini Mac 1 setup. 🙄 Another great review brother, Thanks.
Hahaha lol Anthony, I always look forward to your comments bro, they make my day lol. 😁😂 Great products just keep popping up lol. You’re welcome, Thanks for the positive feedback brother, I appreciate it. 👍💪
Since amazon for some reason has NO place to put new questions underneath the product page for this, I'll ask it here: If I were to run a SATA extender from a 3.5" HDD to the connector in this product, will it work without issue?
Well at least you didn’t go with the expensive 2TB upgrade. 512 is still a good choice, anything after that I would consider getting an external storage drive. Thank You, stay tuned for more. 👍💪
That weird USB-B connects MUCH better than the flimsy "micro-B" ports found on many external SSD or HDD enclosures. Some enclosures also use USB-A to USB-A (the regular blue rectangle). I've found that sometimes the metal latches/hooks on the micro-B cables don't stay seated after multiple times of plugging and unplugging.
What size ssd can fit in each? Will this work for a plex media server? Can you rename each ssd individually so you know which is which when choosing where to put files?
@@LamarMK is this a stupid idea...I can’t seem to knock it off my mind... Someone should make a backpack or bag built for a Mac Mini. Maybe have a charging brick/station pouch built into the bag. Then for people with a large enough iPad they could use Luna Display on location and have a powerful system. Is that a stupid idea, seeing MacBooks are around? 😂. I work remotely a lot and the thought of having something really powerful has me intrigued. Oh, and the bag could have a pass through for an electrical cord in case you need to plug in somewhere. At cafes, I always sit near an outlet.
@@_HMCB_ What?! That’s a GREAT Idea! Million Dollar idea lol, if you’re truly passionate about it, you should get a patent for your idea and start reaching out to different companies to help you manufacture it. I’d buy it and I’d happily unbox and review it. 😁👍💪
Will this work on a TV? I want it to see each individual drive. I will be using four 2 TB drives with volumes in MBR. My TV won't see drives with volumes using GPT.
It’s a known issue with Big Sur, in the latest versions of Big Sur it doesn’t happen as often though. You can disable sleep mode on the M1 Mac Mini and only allow the monitor to sleep instead.
Hey Lamar, one little question: YOU HAVE INFORMATIONs FOR ME IF WITH THIS USB 3.0 4 Bay 2.5″ Hard Drive/SSD Docking Station with Fan (DS-4SSD) CAN MAKE A RAID ON macMINI or macBook or if the SSDs can used only separate ??? 🤔🤔🤔 Many thanks for a short information, greetings from Berlin Germany, Sven 🙂
Hey Sven! This one does not support raid, but I think they make one that’s similar with raid support. Nice to see more viewers from different parts of the world. 🌎👍💪
@@montysonful Here’s information I found on the product listing: DS-4SSD supports 2.5" SATA drives up to a maximum thickness of 12.5mm/0.49 Inch (2.75 Inch x 3.93 Inch x 0.49 Inch )(69.85mm x 100mm x 12.5mm) But does not support 2.5" 15mm thick drives.
the fan noise isnt bad unless the bearings are failing or something gets stuck in the fan slots. i only wish they would make a tower unit for 3.5 hard drives the song is actually "lets get naked" maybe youtube has a problem with the name "naked"
That’s just personal preference, you can always look into other options to create a raid setup. I was just showing as an idea if you already have several SSD’s loaded with files. 👍💪
I Wish it had bottom cooling also so I could set it on top my Mac Mini if wanted to get a chill there also. Maybe auto cooling for over locking or high loads
The M1 Mac Mini doesn't run very hot so you could probably set it on top without any issues. Auto cooling would have been great, but it probably would have been more expensive. 👍💪
so i got mine today... i got a 2tb 1tb 256gb and a 128 gb...... and the 2 tb 256gb and the 128 work fine but for some reason when i insert my 1tb it makes the unplugged sound even though it's not.... any idea what could be goin' on?
@@LamarMK Yeah, I have two and they both work perfectly fine. When only one SSD is inserted into the dock, it works fine. When both of them are inserted, it only reads one.
I also a a huge fan of your channel man that’s something I been looking for and fairly price I I was thinking about that great recomdatioms also I was gonna get the Logitech speakers the one you have to match my set up but I found the creative pebble plus is a good option check those out they would look good with your set up
@@bocchicchiotwo Yeah, I just setup some lights and use my iPhone, Gimbal, and a Tripod. I have some lens kit, but I haven’t used them on any of my recent videos. 👍💪
@@rnerissa3843 Exactly! Pick up those old drives, brush them off and put them to use. It’s just so easy to access all those drives immediately, no need to swap/unplug anything.
What would be cool for benchmarks like this, is to put the SSDs (or spare dirves) in RAID to see if it improves, or even hurts performance, though with a USB 3.0 B cable i dont think you'll see any improvement. Maybe if they update it to USB-C 3.2x2 Most of these kind of adapters, in my experience, have disconnected other drives whenever a drive is added or removed, you just need to give it time, Which is hard to do with OS11, as it gets mad at you for disconnecting a drive before ejecting it. I use a different brand adapter at work to wipe drives of computers we are going to recycle/sell, and i have to make sure all drives are attached to the adapter before i start wiping, or the wipe will fail. Also if one drive finishes way before another drive(say a 240GB SSD finishes 2 hours before a 2TB HDD) i have to leave the 240GB SSD in until all drives are finished
Yeah, that’s kinda the only downside with it disconnecting if you take out a drive, but it immediately reconnects. For your method of wiping multiple drives that would definitely be an issue. Yeah, I’ve noticed that crazy disconnecting with Big Sur. So far in the latest updates it seems to not happen as often. 👍💪
So it looks like it will also be capable of holding the 5TB 15mm drives. Pretty cheap way of getting ~15TB with one dirve of redundancy. Sure you could get 4x8TB SSDs, but that would be super expensive compared to HDD
Yeah, it’s great for adding more external storage over time. To keep the expenses down you could probably mix it with some SSD and HDD. Just kinda rig up your own system lol. 😁👍💪
I used to own something similar but that was housing 5x 3.5" HDs some 7+ yrs ago. Back then, heat and fan noise were constant issues I kept worrying about. I ended up using that enclosure as an offline storage box, mainly acted as a manual backup vault and only powering it up when I was tansfering backup into that vault. With SSD now getting hot in a even smaller package, I am not sure I will want compact but unfamiliar-made SSD enclosure to sit next to my almost quiet Mac to manage my multi TB data.
Wouldn't mind if you took a thermal look at the new PCIE 4.0 nvm ms ssds on Thunderbolt 4 and the tiny little portable cases. Reviews of buyers show they get really really hot - seems dangerous to own one ..? And of course thermal throttling slows all transfers down randomly... A very few have tiny little fans inside the small case.. seems like a lawsuit waiting to happen for those manufacturers.
I thought about doing one of those NVMe setup videos, thanks for suggesting it, I’ll look further into it. I always wondered about them being in such a tiny enclosure and using it for a long time. 😬
will 2 SSDs work good for Full HD/ 4K Home Video Editing with this product? I mean having the 2 SSDs working at the same time with the video editing software
Here on Amazon Japan this docking station is currently ¥11,774 or $111 The double of the price in the USA It seems to be a good product. But for now I’ll pass.
"This weird looking connector on this end and a regular USB connector on the next," Haha, dude, those are both USB connectors! "Weird looking" one is a USB-B, the second is the far more common USB-A.
why is nobody complaining about the fact that usb3 controller on mac mini m1 is splitting in half the normal speed??! 5gps are about 625mb per second... and on mac mini m1 is like the half! How Apple could get away with this? How is Apple justiying it? I love my Mac mini M1 but this point really makes me crazy.... it's like they have sabotaged the connections that are not Thunderbolt (by Apple).
@@LamarMK Hi, thank you for finding a solution, I'm really glad you did and I'm considering it, but this is not a real solution from Apple's side: they can't ask you to spend 400 € or more for gears that kinda solve what on my old 2008 mac pro still works as it should. The fact USB3 doesn't work at the speed it should, is from my point of view one of the most irritating problems of the Mac Mini M1, because I can't really understand the reason.

You’re welcome! Happy to help. Stay tuned for more. 👍💪
Since amazon for some reason has NO place to put new questions underneath the product page for this, I'll ask it here:
If I were to run a SATA extender from a 3.5" HDD to the connector in this product, will it work without issue?
It should work as long as you can get the SATA connection inside of the dock.
If I’d known about this I would have gotten the 256 version of the M1 Mac Mini instead of the 512 version. Nice review.

What size ssd can fit in each? Will this work for a plex media server? Can you rename each ssd individually so you know which is which when choosing where to put files?
Do the Drives sleep when they are not in use?
Yes, Big Sur will put everything to sleep. If you don’t want it to sleep, turn off sleep mode on the M1 Mac Mini and let the monitor sleep instead. 👍💪
So does it work as an external drive or does it work like the synology where it connects as a cloud storage?
External drive, it's not like a Synology NAS.

But does not support 2.5" 15mm thick drives.
Would you recommend this one over the Alxum USB C SSD Docking Station for 2.5?
I’ve never tried that other product, so I can’t recommend it. If it’s just a docking station then they should have similar functionality. 👍💪
can you do a HDD vs SSD speeds on this dock.
Speeds are similar to what you’d get by plugging the SSD straight into the M1 Mac itself. 👍💪
