Now featuring Storage and Thunderbolt Xpansion, the miniStack STX continues its award-winning legacy as the best sidekick a Mac mini can have.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith a universal SATA HDD\/SSD bay AND an NVMe M.2 PCIe SSD slot, you can expand your mini's storage capacity to gigantic proportions. Three Thunderbolt (USB-C) ports enable you to connect to millions of Thunderbolt, USB, and future USB4 drives, displays, A\/V mixers, cameras, tablets, and desktop accessories like a keyboard, card reader, or mouse. The possibilities of how you can use your Mac mini is now only limited to your imagination.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eXpands Notebooks, Tablets and More\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhile sized identical to the Mac mini, the miniStack STX is a sleek, complementary companion for MacBook and PC notebook and desktop machines, iPads, and Chromebooks as well. While highly powerful, these machines are often limited in the number and variety of ports they offer. The miniStack STX solves that expansion limitation with a new world of increased connectivity and storage capacity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Dual Drive Dynamo\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJust like superheroes have an alter ego, so too does the miniStack STX. The universal SATA drive bay holds a hard disk drive or SSD for big capacity data storage. When you need to support low latency instant access operations, the NVMe M.2 SSD slot reveals miniStack STX's ferocious power. NVMe was designed to deliver the speed potential of modern flash drive technology by using a more direct path to a computer's processor over PCIe (requires Thunderbolt host). As a result, you can enjoy near instant access performance with the miniStack STX.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEdit. Save. Access.
