OWC 2.0TB Aura Pro X2 NVMe Flash SSD Add-On Solution Compatible with Mac Mini (Late 2014), Including Tools & Installation Components

This can take some time - so recommend you be patient and do it right. On the 21.5 iMac the drive connector sits next to the left speaker enclosure - resist the temptation to move the speaker. If the fragile power cable is wedged in with the speaker, improperly removing it can break it - and that will add a couple of hours to your install (dont ask me how I know). Net of that it went great and the boot time went from 2 minutes 7 seconds to 15 seconds - awesome!

Hi, I went through several kits before choosing OWC. They provide the most effective solution which perfectly fits the Mac model I had in my office. I will buy only by them in the future

A mi me ha sido muy útil es justo lo que necesitaba

My original 2014 mac mini with its 5400 rpm disk has been barely usable since I bought it, too slow to do anything, even running a web browser, unless you are a very patient person. Installed this SSD, and boy what a huge difference! Hard to quantify the performance increase, but it feels like modern computer at last. Many times faster all around than it was originally. Yeah there are cheaper ways to add SSD, but this one has 2 things going for it - based on the numbers its probably one of the fastest you can get, plus it is very easy to install. This does not involve removing the hard disk and replacing it, all you have to do is remove the bottom cover, plug it in, then stick it in place and secure with the provided screw. Everything you need to do the job is included. You make this the boot drive and leave the old hard disk in there and use it for additional storage or backup. Excellent, clear instructions are provided. Worth every penny for me.

Easy to install and my 2014 Mac Mini is a lot faster

My Mac Mini MGEN2LL/A was slowing down after system updates to the point where the little beach ball would twirl sometimes for minutes while uploading a web page, loading a photo, or just scrolling through a large document. A cold boot would take four minutes. Infuriating. No cleaning up or reloading of the Mac OS did any good. I ordered this SSD after reading the users were having luck with SSDs vs. the factory mechanical hard disk drive (HDD). After receiving the kit, I simply followed the instructions and was shocked to find that space for the SSD existed without having to remove the HDD—whoa. And the installation took only about 10 minutes from cracking it open to screwing it back together. So I was able to simply have the MacOS load onto the SSD without the risk of deleting anything on the existing drive. Then I ran the SSD and reloaded all software onto it, confirming that it ran 6 to 10 times faster on the new drive. Then I simply erased the old HDD and now use it to store digital media—music, video, and photos. I really have a new Mac. Its responsive and handles large files without hesitation. Still takes about 40 seconds to boot, but I seldom boot from cold anyway. Yeah, I could have bought a new M1 chipped device, but I decided to use the money for something else. No regrets.

Great product, easy installation and all parts required included.

There are few times when adding something to a computer that completely changes it. I was ready to get rid of my Mac Mini. It had good horse power, but a lousy HD. Now with this kit, it is a new machine. Everything you need came with the kit. Installation took minutes. Formatting was super quick. It works and feels like a super fast Mac Now. Boot times have gone from minutes to seconds. I run multiple monitors and it used to take forever to get them to mirror because of the old HD. Not any more. Everything is up and running in less than a minute. I highly recommend this product. Purchase the largest you can afford. You will not be disappointed in the results!!!

OWC has the installation videos on their website that show how to to install this SSD in a 2014 Mac mini. All of the hardware necessary to properly install the SSD is provided. The process is pretty easy, and the results are over 10 times faster than the original equipment hard drive. Note that the original hard drive can also stay installed and used for additional (and slower) storage. Definitely recommended, for how easy it was.
