OWC 2.0TB Aura Pro X2 NVMe Flash SSD Add-On Solution Compatible with Mac Mini (Late 2014), Including Tools & Installation Components

A mi me ha sido muy útil es justo lo que necesitaba

Great upgrade for Mac mini 2014, going from slow (5400rpm / non fusion) HD to speedy NVMe. Admittedly, didn’t reinstall Mac OS. Switched to Ubuntu Linux. A speedy (relatively speaking) small workstation. Fantastic!

The kit pretty much comes with everything you need. There are videos online that take you step by step through taking the unit apart and putting it back together. I didnt use the new connector choosing instead to just use the existing one. I did not need any tech support to get the job done.

My mac Mini is a whole new machine. Do follow the directions in the comment from the person who explains that you must set it up to be your startup disk. The process is not as easy as you would think. You will need to do some research. I had to format the disk so that the computer would see it as something it can start up from and I had to install the operating system on it first. If you can do this prior to installation, its recommended. Check out the tech forums online. I just added a few more years of use to my computer. It annoys me that mac started soddering the memory on so now you can do upgrades yourself. This is the only viable option. I have a 2011 imac that Ive revamped that runs like a beast. I may never let it go. Gone are the days you could manage your own machine.

The kit comes with the special tools required to open the machine. Installation was completed in less than an hour and was able to install a new operating system and proceed with reconfiguration. Boot time was measured at 33.6 seconds to desktop. OWC Technical Support was excellent in helping me to determine the correct kit for my requirements.

It is working fine. Followed the built in instructions to imac mini. All OK so far. It could be cheaper, otherwise happy with my purchase.

Great item. Fitted the Mac mini and installation was very quick, less than 10 mins start to finish. Although my kit didn’t come with the plastic tool for removing the base or the securing screw for the ssd. But apart from that it was great.

Straightforward upgrade that made an huge improvement in speed

Installation was easy and it vastly accelerated my mac mini.

Thanks, easy install and now, no more spinning beachball on my 2014 mini.
