- Orico announces MiniLink, “an all-in-one dock and storage” for Mac Mini M4
- Add up to nine ports plus an SSD
- The taller, more affordable MiniDock lets you store the Mini vertically
The Mac Mini M4 is known for its compact size and sleek design, but it could always use more ports.
ORICO aims to solve this problem with two different products, MiniLink and MiniDock.
Each will expand port availability, and the Mini Dock offers up to 10 ports, while also offering SSD storage options.
ORICO MiniLink and MiniDock for Mac Mini M4
ORICO’s MiniLink is the brand’s latest offering, marketed as an “all-in-one storage and docking” solution. It comes with nine additional ports and also includes an SSD slot giving users the option of a built-in SSD for out-of-the-box use or the option of DIY installation.
Ports on this dock include USB-A and USB-C options, an HDMI port for external displays, and SD and microSD card slots.
Additionally, the MiniLink’s removable base reveals SSD support; probably compatible with M.2 or SATA drives. With ultra-fast 40G SSD speeds, expect fast file transfers and smooth performance, even with large amounts of data.
MiniLink has two models, the M47P (7-in-1) model sells for $84.99 while the M49P (9-in-1) model sells for $169.99.
Orico is also launching an affordable MiniDock that lets you store your Mac Mini vertically, saving valuable desk space.
The MiniDock is designed to maintain the Mac Mini’s cooling efficiency with a ventilation system that aligns with the Mini’s own cooling fan to improve airflow.
The 10-in-1 hub adds essential ports like USB-A, USB-C, HDMI, and a 3.5mm audio jack.
The MiniDock also supports built-in or DIY SSD storage, giving users the option to increase the storage capacity of their Mac Mini.
The Orico MiniDock has five models, offering from non-built-in storage up to 4TB. The non-SSD option costs $69.99 while the 512GB, 1TB, 2TB, and 4TB models cost $129.99, $169.99, $219.99, and $319.99 respectively.
