To enhance the external storage on the M2 Mac Mini above the internal storage, a high-speed NVMe SSD in an enclosure is needed. In terms of enclosures, the Acasis TBU-405 model is recommended since it has a maximum transfer rate of 40 Gbps. The SSD being the Western Digital Black SN770 is quite cheap when considering its read and write speeds of 5150 mb/s. All in all, this setup has a possible speed of around 2750 mb/sec which is greater than the internal storage of the base model M2 Mac Mini.

Is there any external enclosure that can hold Nvme and SSD drive and fits nicely under the Mac Studio? The OWC stackable can only go up to 800MB on the Nvme(samsung 980 pro) and 400MB on SSD drive? If you are using lot of drives it becomes a mess around the Mac Studio and eats up all the ports, anything our there that can help with this scenario ? Thanks
