I will be connecting a 2TB Seagate external hard drive to my M4 Mac Mini to store and work on files from, can I connect it using one of the Thunderbolt 4 ports on the back? I'd like to keep the USB-C ports on the front available for my USB-C to USB-A hub and easy access for other accessories.
Have you tried connecting the HDD with a USB-C cable to your TB4 ports and determine if it works? That is low effort over waiting for an answer here.
If I can attach a Crucial X9 Pro SSD formatted as APFS to the back of my M4 Mac Mini Pro, you certainly should be able to attach that HDD with USB-C.
I haven't, but sound advice, I'll give it a try!
Which comes first: curiosity or glitch? 😎
