Philip,
Once again I must say you're a clever fella.
Obviously with this you have swapped the OEM 500Gb HDD with a Samsung 256Gb SSD.
I note you're getting a 2.5 and 2.7... are you looking to add a 256Gb SSD along with the HDD on any of the other installs? no as of now no cables
If installing the SSD as well as the HDD, does the mini have the connector cable and thermal wrap inside, or would this need to be sourced?
{no a problem have to wait}
I would like to add an SSD, use that to run Lion, and then use the 500gb (or eventually a 1tb) HDD for putting my movies on, which will in turn be sat below my TV acting as a Media Centre... (far too powerful I know)
I assume I would need to firstly removed the HDD and re-format it... add the SSD and use the Lion Internet Recovery... does this recovery let you choose which disc to install on does anyone know? (if not, would have to add SSD first, recover, then add the HDD after).
(Just pull the internal hdd out and clone it to the ssd. put both drives back in and boot.
even though both drives are the same and can boot the mini will pick one when the system fires up you can then decide what or how you want to set the drives up. as long as the drives have a different name like mac hd and mac ssd having two osx that are the same is not a problem. if one crashes the other can still boot.)
Hope all that makes sense?!
Regards
Jim
