Apple has\u00a0refreshed its Mac mini lineup<\/a>\u00a0with two new chips: an M6 model for everyday speed and efficiency and an M5 Pro model aimed at pros and anyone else who needs serious horsepower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whichever Mac mini lands on your desk that little box is capable of a lot more once you build the right setup around it. Here are our recommendations for the gear that will help you get the most out of your Mac mini.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

M6 Mac mini Solutions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The M6 Mac mini is built around Thunderbolt 4\/USB4 connectivity rather than Thunderbolt 5. Thanks to Thunderbolt 5\u2019s generous backwards compatibility, you can run Thunderbolt 5 docks and drives over one of the M6 Mac mini\u2019s Thunderbolt 4 ports, but because the port itself is Thunderbolt 4, your Thunderbolt 5 gear will run as if it\u2019s Thunderbolt 4 gear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since you you won’t see any of the extra bandwidth, there’s no reason to pay for headroom you can’t use yet unless you\u2019re absolutely certain you\u2019ll be running a Thunderbolt 5 machine in the near future. With that in mind, these options take full advantage of the M6 Mac mini\u2019s full bandwidth capability at a lower price point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
The Thunderbolt Go Dock fits into a bag as easily as it fits into your desk setup thanks to its internal power supply.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

OWC Thunderbolt Go Dock<\/a><\/strong>: The first full-featured Thunderbolt dock with a built-in power supply. That means there\u2019s no external power brick, making the Go Dock easier to fit into a crowded desk setup and way less bulky when throwing into a bag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

OWC Express 1M2<\/a><\/strong>: An ultra-fast, reliable, portable,\u00a0and<\/em>\u00a0DIY USB4 NVMe SSD. Buy it ready-to-run, or go the DIY route and drop in your own M.2 drive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

OWC Express 4M2<\/a><\/strong>: A four-slot USB4 enclosure for anyone sitting on a pile of spare NVMe SSDs and looking for an easy way to put them to work as fast external storage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thunderbolt 4 (USB-C) Cables<\/a><\/strong>: Certified for universal use across Thunderbolt 4, Thunderbolt 3, and USB-C gear, so it’s the safe, compatible choice for connecting your Mac mini to displays, docks, and everything else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

M5 Pro Mac mini solutions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Step up to the M5 Pro model and you’ve got full Thunderbolt 5 bandwidth to play with, which opens the door to the fastest storage and connectivity lineup out there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

OWC Thunderbolt 5 Dock<\/a><\/strong>: An 11-port connectivity hub that turns a single Thunderbolt port into multi-display 8K support, ultra-fast data transfer, 2.5GbE networking, and up to 140W of power delivery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

OWC Thunderbolt 5 Hub<\/a><\/strong>: A compact, fanless way to expand one Thunderbolt connection into three Thunderbolt 5 ports plus a USB-A port, with up to 80Gb\/s bi-directional performance and support for up to three 8K displays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

OWC StudioStack<\/a><\/strong>: A low-profile, aircraft-grade aluminum hybrid storage solution that combines SSD and HDD storage in one unit, up to 32TB at speeds up to 6302MB\/s, while adding three more Thunderbolt 5 ports and USB-A ports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

OWC ThunderBlade X12<\/a><\/strong>: A Thunderbolt 5-powered production RAID SSD hitting up to 6600MB\/s, with RAID 5 capability built for high-end film and multi-cam 8K\/12K workflows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

OWC Express 4M2 Ultra<\/a><\/strong>: Thunderbolt 5 NVMe RAID storage pre-configured with SoftRAID, available in 4TB through 32TB capacities, or as a bare enclosure if you’d rather build your own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

OWC Envoy Ultra<\/a><\/strong>: A rugged, IP67-rated Thunderbolt 5 portable SSD delivering real-world speeds over 6000MB\/s, bus-powered with a built-in cable so it’s ready to travel between Macs and PCs alike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

OWC Express 1M2 80G<\/a><\/strong>: Pictured in the image at the top, this is a USB4 80Gb\/s NVMe portable SSD delivering over 6000MB\/s real-world performance, available ready-to-run or as a DIY enclosure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

OWC Mercury Helios 5S<\/a><\/strong>: The simplest way to add PCIe cards to a small form factor Mac like the Mac mini, while also adding more Thunderbolt 5 ports to your setup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

OWC Thunderbolt 5 Cables<\/a><\/strong>: Fully certified up to 2 meters, built to be the fastest and most compatible cable for connecting today’s, tomorrow’s, and yesterday’s Thunderbolt and USB-C devices.
