Chosen Solution
Well, I’ve spent the last few hours trying to find a definitive answer to my question. I’m usually able to do this without posting, but the waters are muddy and there’s a purchase involved so I’m going to be safe rather than sorry. I’ve recently purchased a Mac Mini (late 2014). I purchased the middle tier option, it came with a 1TB HD (no fusion drive). I would very much like to upgrade the storage… It sounds to me that my only real option is it remove the 1TB HD and replace that with a SSD of my choosing. It’s either that or I need to find and purchase an apple compatible SSD and flex cable so I can install the blade style SSD that the mini would have come with, if I had picked the fusion drive option. If I’m off base or there have been any updates on this issue please let me know! Thanks very much! Jordan
I have just ordered a new SSHD for my Macbook Pro Mid-2012 and recommend this retailer. http://www.drivesolutions.com/cgi/shop/u… They have a vast archive of parts compatible with your device. The best part is all their Drives have a 100% compatibility guarantee so you know it will fit. Just click on a drive of your choice and it will give you a list of compatible models. I purchased the 2 TB SSHD for the price and performance. I have not found any that specifically state they fit the Mac Minis. I did however find Ifixit itself has some available. 1 TB SSD Hybrid 2.5" Hard Drive This is not a full SSD but it sure beats the performance of a standard HDD.
