SSD Disk doubler

[geoffpalmeruk]

Hi all,
So i have just bought a mac mini (late 2012) with 16gb ram, 2.5 i5 and 500gb platter drive. I want to upgrade to have a 480gb ssd and 2tb hdd in it and have seen there is a data doubler kit available.

I read somewhere that it might not fit and i would need some kind of adapter.

Can anyone confirm what kit i would need?

In the link Hellhammer provided, make sure to read the section that starts: "NOTE: A small number of 2012 units ..."

Also, as noted in the link, you need a 9.5mm HDD. Not all 2TB HDD's are 9.5mm.

so as long as i have a 9.5mm HDD or less all should be good?

yes, 9.5mm or lesser is good.

If you don't need the tools, you can get a kit (including the logic board tool but no other tools) from ifixit.com for $5 less. Mac Mini Dual Drive Kit (922-9560, 076-1391) - iFixit That's the kit I used for my Mini, to install my SSD in the 'upper' bay.
