[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1822734, member: 56379"] Ahh...sounds like you have the server version.:) Yes I agree...swapping out the original hard drive for a new HD or an SSD...is definitely more involved than installing RAM on a 2012 Mac-Mini. And if someone has never done any work on the inside of a computer before (unplugging delicate cables, removing screws, etc.)...and doesn't have the proper tools...this may be a bit involved. But it's not too bad of a first project if someone is properly motivated or curious/interested.:) And removing the original optical drive...and replacing it with a 2nd internal storage drive is an even more involved project (might be better off just replacing the original drive)...less complex.:) - Nick [/QUOTE]
