Hi,
I wish to know will the TEKQ Rapide Thunderbolt 3 (480GB) be compatible with my mac mini m1 (Bis Sur) and or any suggestions for other 1TB Thunderbolt SSD's that would also be compatible. I will be using it for backing up and transferring Final cut pro 4 k videos, thanks.
Kind regards
Kal
TREBLEET has two enclosures that can work quite well. As matter of fact, they have a matrix with OS compatibility and NVMe SSD compatibility that they have tested. I have not seen any other enclosure makers with such a tool. They usually only say a particular model and manufacturer won't work.
You can also get OWC drives, while a bit pricier, don't have macOS compatibility issues as they test all there devices with Macs.

I have one additional suggestion. If you plan to use the disk for backup and for storage of your Final cut pro 4 k videos, I would not mix the two. Instead, first partition the drive into partitions to separate the two functions.
Most any SSD will be compatible with the Mac Mini M1. I use Samsung SSD's but for maximum speed I use WD NVME drive in a TB enclosure to achieve speeds >2600.
I also endorse the Trebleet enclosures which is what I use.
What thunderbolt 3 SSD is compatible with my Mac Mini M1?
