I have a 2011 i7 Mini with the two 500GB HDDs. I want to install a SSD for the boot disk and install a 1TB or 2TB 7200 HDD for the scratch disk. Should I be doing the Fusion setup?
Do you recommend the OWC kit just for the two Torx drivers? Maybe just pick them up at home Depot? Do you really need a spudger?
I saw a girl on YouTube do it without removing the logic board. I guess this isn't possible with the server version right?
What 500GB SSD and HDD do you recommend? Toshiba? Sammy?
I heard that only the newest Mini has the "boot into internet recovery" option to download the OS. Is that true? I made a Mavericks thumb drive anyway with DiskMakerX so that shouldn't be a problem.
What specs am I looking for? SATAIII and what size SDD/HDD would I need for both to fit?
Which is the primary HDD for the OS? The loose one that's on top or the one that's in the carriage at the bottom? The loose top one (one that's removed first and closest to the black cover) is the OS right?
Samsung MZ-7PD256BW PRO vs. Samsung EVO MZ-7TE750BW?
Thanks
