I have a couple of external USB3.1 SSD’s and I do find that 700MB/Sec is fast enough for my general use as I rarely notice they are 4 times slower than the Mini’s internal SSD. NOT TB3/4 speeds) so that limits SSD drive performance to around 700MB/S.
Review’s I’ve read indicate that the internal SSD drive (if installed) operates at USB3.1 speeds (I.e. I really like the form factor and included ports and drive bays. The STX costs $279 empty and you can add various OWC drives as well. Hopefully OWC has fixed the problem with this recent release. But it went back to OWC because it totally killed my WiFi when stacked on top of the Mini and really degraded it when attached via a 3' cable. I should note that I once tried an earlier version MiniStack that I hooked up to a 2012 Mac Mini. Up to five Thunderbolt devices, three USB devices, and two displays. It has two internal drive bays: one 2.5/3.5" SATA SSD/HDD and the other is compatible with NVMe M.2. I don't know if this option will meet your particular needs but as a long-time Mac Mini fan it is interesting to me.
