Stock Apple SSD in 2012 Mac Mini

[henryonapple]

What kind of SSD is the stock SSD that is shipped in 2012 Mac Minis? Is it a standard 2.5" configuration with the Apple logo on it? Or is it a blade style connector?

The stock Apple SSD's are 2.5" SATA in the 2012 Mini, Apple have only just put a blade style SSD in the 2014 Mini, but it still looks to have 2.5" bays.

Thank you for the information. Have you ever see the stock SSD? I wonder how it looks or if it is branded.

Not seen one, I have the base 2012 mini and I installed a samsung 840 pro in the other bay

I've read that for the 2.5" SSDs they use either a toshiba or Samsung SSD.

This is how they look, its all black otherwise with just an Apple OEM label.
