Nice External SSD to Compliment MAC Mini Pro
There were no reviews but took a gamble based on reviews on previous models. Pleasantly surprised this model resolved previous complaints with fan noise and heat – very quiet and the box was just warm to the touch even during 150GB data transfer. Blackmagic speed test was over 3000MB/sec R/W so very fast. Plugged into Mac Mini Pro Thunderbolt 5 port in the back. I like it!!

Tolerable fan volume!
Correct fan is a little loud but tolerable.Really wanted a quieter 2TB 40gb external like this but settled formthe 1TB, maybe they’ll make one in future. Even better if they make one again 2TB 40gb speed thinderbolt, for the Mac Mini to sit verticle for no blockage of WiFi, more USB-C ports, and easier access to power button.

Very good product and aesthetically pleasing. matches Ur Mac setup.
The Item was great. in terms of benchmarked speeds. I decided to go with a different product however that was a bit cheaper and faster. But this product really stands well on its own for those looking for a good looking setup that adds function and value as well. 🙂

Absolutely love it, fan and all.
Absolutely love it, fan and all. Great solution for those with an M4 Mac Mini who did not have deep pockets at time of purchase to upgrade the base HD size.

Canât get over the fan noise
I really wanted to like this, love the speed and the form factor, but the constant noise from the fan starts get annoying when spending the amount of time I have to spend in front of my computer.
R Hollister –
Unacceptably loud fan noise disqualifies an otherwise well designed product.
This external SSD (1Tb) works well, has very fast data transfer, is priced well, and is a good visual match for the M4 Mac mini — all the things I was looking for. Unfortunately, the loud fan noise is unacceptable. While the fan in the Mac Mini is just a hair above silent, the Orico SSD has a constant loud whine whenever the computer is powered on. This is not a fan that cycles with the heat generated by the unit, which would be tolerable, but rather is constant regardless of reading/writing/inactivity on the SSD.Accordingly, it gets a good score for its actual functionality, but a failing score for usability. Not recommended.

Excelente producto
El disco desde su construcción hasta su calidad en rendimiento es excelente!!! Si hace algo de sonido en su funcionamiento, pero para mi opinión personal no es nada del otro mundo. Super recomendado para usar con Mac Mini M4.
