Well I have successfully upgraded my brand new 2012 Mac Mini with an SSD and 16gb Memory so thought I would post some feedback for others who are thinking of doing the same.
The OWC Data Doubler Kit which allows you to install the second hard drive was far better than expected. Great quality tools, everything you could possibly need to take your expensive Mac Mini apart safely.
The Instruction Manual is very clear with colour photos and step-by-step instructions but I found it easier to follow this video on an iPad while actually doing the work on the Mini:
Thats it! not sure if this will help others or not but thought I would post my experiences
Objective
- Install Data Doubler Kit from OWC to allow installation of Second Hard Drive.
- Install OCZ 120gb Vertex Plus SATAII SSD to use as main Boot Drive.
- Erase existing 500gb Hard Drive to use as Data/Storage Drive.
- Install Crucial 16gb (2 x 8gb) DDR3 PC3-12800 Memory upgrade.
