DHL CS that handle apple product.


I also received mine this afternoon. Still exploring and doing some setup.
Added a 1 tb SSD NVME drive plugged into the usb-c for expansion.

I'm running chrome, capture 23, already 11-13gb 😅

Glad yours arrived safely! What specific setup do you use for the nvme and the enclosure? I'm thinking to do something similar

As long as not so laggy than will be good d

I got the PNY CS1031 M.2 NVMe with 1tb and an Orico M.2 usb3.1 enclosures. Budget friendly. 🤭

Not sure in the future will get those enclosure that can place under or top of the mini like this brand hagibis.
This will expand ports and have sdcard readers as well.

Ordered mine on Tuesday 3pm. Shipped out 5pm from Singapore. Reached Subang yesterday. DHL delivering to me today. Can’t say I’m not impressed with the speed!

Yes, 8GB seems "just" enough.

The system is pretty responsive even there has many program running, but then the internal SSD did happen like what youtuber mention, copying in and out from external ssd (Samsung T7 Shield btw) will saw a sudden drop of speed after 3GB and above, it is very noticeable even the claim still has 1000++ MB/s write and read speed, at least compare to my iMac Pro.

The iMac Pro on the other hand, can sustain very long highspeed when copying the same file.

I still feel my iMac Pro snappy than Mac Mini M2 during heavy load of task, but MacMini seems more fast when browsing internet, maybe because of it's good single core speed.

Same as me.. my item just out of delivery .. can’t wait to receive it .. had bought some software d

Ahh, orico m.2 enclosure has been in my shopping cart since last year 😂

Be careful about the Orico M.2 10 Gbps enclosure . The one I have has a Realtek RTL9210 chipset. I am currently using it on a 2017 Intel iMac with a WD SN550 SSD as an external boot drive but it keeps hanging on startup. I've applied the latest available firmware from Orico.

I have another Orico M.2 20 Gbps enclosure (M2PAC3-G20) which uses a different chipset (can't recall offhand, but it is not JMicron) which has been stable from day 1.

I've also been looking at the various hubs which fit under the Mini.
However, I'm not satisfied with any of the current offerings.

1. The best feature-wise uses the RTL 9210 chipset
2. Some support only SATA interface (no NVMe)
3. Some only has one power input (via USB). This may be an issue especially with devices which need high current.
4. The USB interface between the Mini and the hub is mostly 5 or 10 Gbps max.
5. I've read that placing hubs under the Mini can affect Bluetooth performance due to signal blocking issues

Would ugreen m2 enclosure be better than orico? I’m holding my purchase now.

Thanks for the info.

I m using ORICO M2PV-C3 M.2 which is Realtek RTL9210 chipset...with aluminium alloy enclosure...
But, I m using it for extension of storage...

Mine also havent arrived. Ordered at the first day available at apple online. Spec M2 base 16 GB and 512GB. The eta also changes last week currently at 17-23 March.. If one month need to wait, this is GG already…

I don't know. If you can find out the chipset used that would be more relevant.
So far I think Realtek chipset can't handle high throughput.

Same here 😢

I’ve experienced buying apple product through online before. But this is the worst experience. The wait is very painful.

ugreen use ASM2362

That's weird, i have the same spec and order a few days after it was available at apple online and already arrived.

Zzzzzzzz. Wth apple.

I think the 20 Gbps Orico uses ASMedia chipset. In my opinion it should be more reliable than Realtek

Finally shipped just now, arrives at 24 March. One month wait
