I too having the same purple or pink squares during start up, but its comes and goes. Apple is aware of this issue, and there are discussion in the Apple Community forum. https://discussions.apple.com/thread/252076...8209022&page=18

I'm using this Hagibis brand USB-C Hub with hard disk enclosure, just for basic storage function. Planning to get a NVM for fast performance storage. tongue.gif

Is it good ? i heard the transfer speed for the ports and hd is quite slow which was why i didnt buy one but i desperately need to find a proper usb solution. need to plug in SD Card, USB Mic, keyboard, etc

As I mentioned, is good for normal storage usage like documents and others, if you want to use it like fast transfer data, get the external nvm storage and a good thunderbolt 4 hub like OWC.

Question - anyone here alternating between the m1 mac mini + another pc/laptop on a same monitor ? i'm having problems with my USB C - Displayport , it just wont output the display after i use the monitor with another laptop hdmi ( which i've switched off before turning on the m1 )

i had to always manually unplug and plug the cable back in on the mac mini for the display to be detected

Sounds like you need a KVM switch?? hmm.gif

Cooler Master 34" ultrawide monitor
1) Cooler Master 34" ultrawide monitor
2 ) I bought a USB - Displayport from shopee. works well and output 144hz at ultrawide resolution
3) Yes

So my macmini (usb c - displayport)  m1 shares the same display with my lenovo notebook ( hdmi). i realised that whenever i turn on my macmini, the display will not output to the monitor and the monitor will say no signal, go to sleep. I have to turn off, unplug and plug the cable back in order for the mac mini to display to the monitor.

thinking this was my monitor issue, i tried using the same usb c to displayport on my lenovo thinkpad on the same monitor and it works without any problems.
so i dont think it's my cable or monitor issue.

Have you try with USB-C Hub (HDMI and USB-C) connected to mac mini?
