I want to show you photos of the simple, yet laborious, upgrade of my Mac Mini. First a 16GB ram update, this time I added the second drive, a modestly-sized SSD.

enjoy

Awesome job! I remember in OWC's video guide for them to keep saying how I had to remove the logic board, I just thought "F that!" because I was afraid to damage my first Mac.

I was surprised that of thousands of electronics and mechanical parts inside the machine, apple engineers arranged them into less than 10 simple components; logic board, IR sensor, power supply, fan, antenna. And all of them look quite neat.
