M2 Mac mini and external dock/drive

[Gazchamps]

New poster to group but did search forum without success before asking.
I am buying Mac M2 Mini shortly, I already have M1 version with Satechi +1TB SSD.
Does anyone have experience with the Hagibis https://amzn.eu/d/2sISyNQ fitted with the Samsung 980 Pro https://amzn.eu/d/4cwuBbp . To me as a non tech guy this looks like a pretty fast combination. I only use for office work and occasional bit of video and photo work from my RAW camera.
Help appreciated please.

Your Hagibis link doesn't work (in the UK).
If it's the Hagibis MC25 Pro you are looking at, then it's an unpowered dock.
It recommends you supply power to it by plugging a USB-C PSU into the middle USB-C port on the back,
which would be needed if you have two SSDs inside it.

There are lots of threads about unpowered devices being less stable in these forums,
so I would recommend a device that has its own power supply.
Also as a USB-C device the read/write speeds of your Samsung 980 Pro may be as low as about one sixth of the SSD's rated speed.

I have the OWC Thunderbolt 4 Dock it is not cheap but I have all I need for extra ports for my Mac Studio for the foreseeable future.
