Satechi’s USB4 Mac mini SSD Enclosure can double as portable storage down at $80 (33% off)

Last summer Satechi launched another wonderful accessory for Mac mini users known as the Satechi USB4 NVMe SSD Enclosure. It delivers the capacity for adding extra storage to your rig in a particularly elegant way, and you can now land one down at $79.99 shipped, or 33% off the list price. 

Now available via the brand’s official Amazon storefront, you’ll find the Satechi USB4 NVMe SSD Enclosure for M4 Mac mini sitting down at $79.99 shipped

Regularly $120 and still fetching as much directly from the official Satechi site, today’s deal delivers 33% in savings and the best price we can find. Over at Amazon we saw this model drop to $84 during the Black Friday deal season, and it is now even less than that. 

As you can see from the imagery, this thing is designed to look and feel just like your Mac mini – almost to the point where it looks like it could have been designed in Cupertino if you ask me. It rests neatly atop your machine to provide an elegant housing for some bonus storage, but can also be taken with you on the go as a portable SSD of sorts:

Designed with a sleek and minimalist aesthetic, the enclosure draws inspiration from the Apple USB SuperDrive. A hidden cable compartment enhances portability and keeps the braided cable neatly stored when not in use. The slim, lightweight profile also makes it an ideal external portable drive, allowing you to easily take it on the go without sacrificing performance. 

Compatible with a range of SSD formats and with support for up to 8TB, it works with 2280/2260/2242/2230mm drives while delivering ” up to 40Gbps ultra-fast transfer speeds” alongside “cooling vents and a thermal pad for better heat dissipation.”
