2018 RackMac Mini - 1U Rack Kit for 2 Mac minis (RACK-MIN-2XA)

Solid metal rack box for Mac mini with a perfect fit, on/off switch, and 2 USB ports. Great, excellent quality!

Looks right at home in rack. Power button and power led window are very practical and thoughtful features. Was able to secure my thunderbolt hub, ssd storage and power supply in the second bay with dual lock and some cable management ties. All connectors are available from the back of the unit without opening and the whole kit is secure enough to travel in a mobile rack (though this one's going to sit in my studio). Only potential downside in my installation is that this fully covered, full depth unit sitting at the top of my rack limits the effectiveness of my built in rack fan by blocking the airflow to other equipment in the rack. Feels overpriced for what it is, but well designed and effective. Fits my needs perfectly.

I really like this rack unit. Its very solid and functions wonderfully for keeping your macs in a rack and having them protected while having the ability to turn them on and off as well as access to a USB port. The one thing I will say is it is a VERY TIGHT fit to get the M1 in here. Not sure about the other models but I was almost certain this wasnt going to work when putting my units in this rack. But assure you they do fit its just very very tight.

You get what you pay for!! This can be pricey but well worth it!! Would buy the sonnet products in a heart beat. The screws where kinda cheap but be gentle, its good stuff. It holds out two max mini well and has the power and usb in front. Good stuff.

I also have the older model. Keeps my mac minis in the rack securely and conveniently.high quality and very convenient - has a front USB port + a front power button. Both are used frequently. One rack has one mini and I connect both front USB ports to it.

You take a look at this, and say to yourself, “Gosh that’s an awful lot to pay for some bent steel and a couple of buttons,“ but let me tell you, I’ve tried others, and this rack shelf is the best thing I’ve found for Mac Minis. No need to go crawling around the back to press the power button or try to connect something quickly — it’s all right there on the front, and it makes managing cables out of the back a lot easier too. Totally worth it, and looks clean.Hot tip: give yourself a blank panel or some other short shelf above or below this rack shelf, so you don’t have to go scraping your knuckles when you do need to plug or unplug something from the backside.

The much less expensive version made by brand X isn't worth the money. Save yours and just buy the proper mount the first time. I tried to cheap out and bought the less expensive version. I wound up buying the Sonnet because the cheap one was such a disappointment.

If you want to put a Mac mini in a rack, this will get the job done. However, the price tag is a bit ridiculous for what is essentially some steel, foam padding, 2 USB extension cables, and two sticks that push a button. I think $150 or less would be a better price point. And if you're only using this for a single Mac mini, it's even more ridiculously overpriced. But unless you've got the materials and tools to build your own, you're kinda out of luck paying an "Apple tax" to someone. This case definitely secures the Mac minis down, but I've noticed that the case does get really tight on the Macs. This also makes it incredibly difficult to service the Mac minis once racked. If you need to replace or pull a single Mac mini out and you have two of them installed, you need to take both offline. Here's to hoping Apple comes to their senses and brings back the Xserve... though I'm not holding my breath.

very good

Très bonne qualité de fabrication.Je l'utilise avec un mac mini 2012 et un mac mini M1 (2021).Rackable dans un flight case standard.

Rapide !

Unterm Strich hat ein MacMini im Rechenzentrum nichts verloren. Keine redundanten Netzteile, nur ein Netzwerk-Port integriert, usw. usw.Aber was macht das schon - wenn man denn einen MacMini in einem 19" Rack unterbringen möchte, ist das eine schöne Lösung.Zu beachten ist jedoch ...(1) ein MacMini wird doch schon recht warm, da die Kühlung über das Gehäuse stark eingeschränkt ist.(2) Der Einschub ist nicht sehr tief, somit kann dieser Einschub nicht zwischen andere 1HE-Server eingebaut werden, da die Anschlüsse dann nicht erreichbar sind.(3) der preis ist für das bißchen Blech gefühlt sehr hochWir sind trotzdem glücklich mit diesem Teil.

Acquistato per alloggiare due mac mini uso live music. Permette di inserire i due computer in un rack standard, riporta il power on off sul fronte + usb di servizio (ottimo per chiavette o hard drive). Compatibile con Mac Mini late 2018 e precedenti.Costoso ma super funzionale.
