When I first bought the MM4 I did think I wanted something to go under it, with good connectivity and be 40gbp/s. Now I have bought the TB4 Dock/Hub I'm happy with that. The MM4 is off the desk and on a table next to my desk, I do need a new desk as mine was for an ultrawide only setup but now I have 2 32" normal monitors and the desk isn't wide enough, with the TB4 Dock/Hub on my desk. Only issue I have is the supplied TB4 cable is only 0.8m and whilst it reaches OK, I need to buy a longer one so I can route it a little better.

One of my NVME is literally half dangling off the back of the MM4 lol

It works, out of sight but not very tidy. Although I did buy that walnut stand last week and it has been shipped now so will probably just leave it. It’s not like I’m desperately in need of usb-A ports.

edit - the Raycue dock still require me to lift up the MM4 to access the button anyway.

My NVME and USB SSD are hangin off the back but, as you say, out of sight. I Printed a little stand for the MM4 and it gives me enough room to reach the power button. One weird thing about having the MM4 on a table to the right of my computer desk is I use the internal speaker for YouTube videos and it's a bit strange for the sound to come from my right.
