Mine is shipped yesterday, finally.
I will write review and add pictures here after I got that device in my hands..

Unless you're desperate to keep the port available, I would plug it directly into the mini, especially if it's something that will be attached more-or-less permanently. I plan to do that with my powered USB-A hub, just to keep things simple (and to keep bandwidth available on the UH25's single USB-C connection).
Anyone know if these adhesive heat sinks will fit in the hub if you attach them to NVMe drive?

Today it finally arrived!!
Package is nice and clean.
Device feels "cheap" plastic and colour is different vs Mac Mini, but overall finish is ok.
Box contains screws and spare M.2 "rubber" x2, screw driver and USB-C cables
Samsung 970 EVO installed
This rubber is little pit sloppy.. Why they just add screw here?
I attach both USB-C cables in my Mac mini and HDMI (UH25) my second screen and main screen is attached directly to Mac mini's HDMI.
- Both screens seems to work -> OK
- recognises M.2 SSD -> OK
- I Attach Samsung T5 in UH25 USB-C port -> seems to work OK
But why all leds are on? SATA HDD led is also on, but there is nothing installed?
M.2 SSD speed test
Samsung T5 speed test
Samsung seems to be faster now he it is attached to UH25?
"read/write 350-390MB/s"

I copy my data in M.2 drive and everything goes ok (200-300Gb folders).
Last big folder about 760Gb is almost done and M.2 drive disconnects and I need to reboot my Mac.
Now drive disconnect all the time and finally I cannot see that drive att all..
So.. It crash and I can say "I do not recommended this product"
Let see can I have refund of this..

"Technical team figures out the power management solution (chips and resistors) in this product may need to be improved. They will study it thoroughly and fix it in the next version of product."
So.. Any ideas what next?
OWC miniStack STX or OWC Thunderbolt Hub?
or what?

Once the warranty is over, when the device is defective, you have to look inside.
Surprisingly, that case is aluminum, somehow the finish just makes it feel like plastic.
Only the bottom and inner parts of the devices are plastic.
the screws can be found under the rubber feet

The text MC25Pro on the circuit board refer to the Hagibis hub with a quick google?

Setup the UH25 Pro with my M2 Mac Mini today. I've got an Intel 670p 2TB in the NVMe slot and a Sandisk Ultra 3D 4TB in the SATA slot. I transferred 1.28TB of files from an external HDD enclosure via USB3 to the Intel NVMe and then around 700GB from the Intel to the Sandisk and had zero disconnects.
I'm using an Anker 18W Quick Charge charger to power the UH25 Pro.

I purchase 18w Quick Charger and still same issue..
Only M.2 nvme drive attached in the dock.
Maybe this can be problem with Samsung 970 evo plus?
I don't have another M.2 drive so I can't test it.
But Qwiizlab support test this so I think this product/dock is faulty.
UH25 Pro is maybe different hardware than UH25 MAX?
Here is Qwiizlab support answer (again):
"Technical team figures out the power management solution (chips and resistors) in this product may need to be improved. They will study it thoroughly and fix it in the next version of product."
