Description
OWC DIY bundle kit to add the second SSD using OWC Mercury Extreme Pro 6G SSD and Installation Tools for Mac mini 2011 - 2012
A small number of 2012 units were shipped with the drive mounted in the upper drive bay rather than the more typical lower bay. If you have a 2012 or later model, you will want to determine the configuration of your Mac mini's drives before ordering. To do this, open the Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility app and click on the grey drive icon at the left edge of the window. If you see "Lower" after the "Connection ID" at the bottom-left corner of the window, continue with the purchase. If you see "Upper", you have a unique configuration and need to choose Option "HDD - upper bay". For Upper Bay HDD, please watch Addendum video - scroll down on the page. For Lower Bay HDD, watch videos from Video Tab.
