OWC Data Doubler' SSD/2.5" Hard Drive Installation Kit

This item is for mac Mini which has factory HDD/SSD installed into the Upper Bay. (please watch the video below for explanation)

 Running out of storage space in your Mac mini or looking to improve performance with an OWC SSD? Now you can add a second 9.5mm or smaller 2.5" SATA Hard Drive or Solid State Drive (sold separately) to your 2011, 2012 or Later Mac mini.

Before attempting to perform this installation, please watch the following instructional video in its entirety to determine your ability to perform this complex procedure. OWC assumes no responsibility for damage that may occur during the install. Technical support for this DIY product consists only of this video.

*NOTE: A small number of 2012 units were shipped with the drive mounted in the upper drive bay rather than the more typical lower bay shown in this video. If you have a 2012 or later model, you will want to determine the configuration of your Mac mini's drives prior to ordering. To do this, open Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility.app and click on the grey drive icon at the left edge of the window. 

~To do this using OS X 10.10 or earlier~ 
Open Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility.app and click on the grey drive icon at the left edge of the window. If the "Connection ID" at the bottom-left corner of the window lists "Lower", you may proceed using the standard installation instructions and this item is not for you. You need only the standard kit here. If it lists "Upper" then you have a special configuration and you need item listed in this listing, SKU OWCDIYIMM11D2B.

~To do this using OS X 10.11 or later~ 
Open Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility.app and click on the grey drive icon at the left edge of the window. Next, click the "Info" button on the toolbar. A window will open. Scroll to the "Location" item; if you see "Lower" you may proceed using the standard installation instructions.
