Sintech M.2 NGFF NVMe SSD Card for Upgrade Mac Mini Late 2014 Year A1347 MEG Series(Only for late 2014 Year,not fit Other year)

Do this for increased internal storage. Easy to do, check YouTube for tutorials…worth the investment of time and money.

I bought an SSD and used this adapter card to upgrade my Mac Mini. Dont forget the correct screwdriver for the screws on the bottom of the case. No joke...I was torn down, upgraded, and booted back up in less than TEN minutes. Super easy upgrade even if youre a novice.

To start, this adaptor is hard to find out of the online world. Once more, Amazon had it.

Popped in a few minutes and with a new sd drive formatted and in use in hours. Brought my mac mini back to life

DOA

Worked well for installing an M.2 NVME drive on my 2014 Mac Mini. With this adapter you can use a regular M.2 NVME drive and not need the Apple-specific drive and adapter. So much cheaper to upgrade your Mac Mini this way.

My installation was a bit more complicated as I had a 1TB fusion drive with bad HDD. I had to buy a tool kit and gut the entire Mac Mini and remove both drives from the drive bay. In fact the built in SSD portion had to be sliced out with a razor blade. The new M.2 holder fit perfectly on top of the empty drive bay. I added the new 500 GB M.2 drive and closed up the machine. From there you can boot to a screen called Internet Recovery, which operates independently of any hard drive. Internet Recovery allowed me to format the new M.2 drive and install Big Sur OS.

Super simple to set-up and install. Works like a charm.

My late 2014 Mac Mini was soooo slow that I stopped using it a few years ago. When I saw this upgrade, I gave it a shot. I added 500GB, and now the machine is fast, really fast. Installation was less than 10 minutes. This Mac is now perfect for my use, no more frustrating delays.

Had an old MacMini (late) 2014 that was just too tired with its 5,400 RPM 1 TB drive, so decided to get the inexpensive Sintech M.2 NGFF NVMe SSD adapter and a Crucial 1 TB SSD NVME SSD (as it was on sale).
