Hi all. I've just bought a second Mini for a family member to get started on their first Mac, and wanted to pep things up with an SSD to replace the standard 500GB 5400RPM drive. What do you recommend?
Are the current Samsung models still compatible? I was considering an 860 EVO as I have an 850 in my 2012 Mini and its been fine, but the supplier I use in the UK (Ebuyer) wasn't sure if they were compatible?
Also, what RAM can the machine handle - can it use the full 16GB as some suppliers suggest (OWC)?
Any help most welcome!
Spec is as follows:
