The back of the AGPTek includes one USB-C port, which will connect to one of the USB-C / Thunderbolt 3 ports on the back of your Mac mini. The AGPTek box comes with the hub, a small screwdriver, one USB-C cable and a Quick Start guide. Yes, Virginia, you can also tuck a small 2.5″ SSD inside this little hub. There are two indicator lights, one for power and one as a drive activity light. The front of the unit contains three USB ports on the left, two SD Card readers, and another USB port on the right. The AGPTEK draws its power from one of the Mac mini’s USB-C ports, meaning outside of the included USB-C cable, no additional wires are needed.
The AGPTEK hub fits perfectly underneath my Mac mini and matches the Space Gray color the 2018 Mac mini. The big selling point of this unit for me was the AGPTEk’s footprint. Not only does this unit offer both types of card readers, it also comes with 4 front mounted USB ports (Type-A). But, despite this, the Mac mini lacks SD and TF card readers, which I need for shuttling files back and forth between the Mac mini and my Mac SE/30. With four Thunderbolt 3 / USB-C ports, an HDMI port, an audio jack and two USB-3 ports – there’s plenty of flexibility for the average user. One of the best features of the 2018 / 2020 Mac mini is the number of available ports. Review: AGPTEK Docking Station for Mac mini
