OWC DIY bundle kit to add the second SSD using OWC Mercury Electra 6G SSD and Installation Tools for Mac mini 2011 - 2012

A small number of 2012 units were shipped with the drive mounted in the upper drive bay rather than the more typical lower bay. If you have a 2012 or later model, you will want to determine the configuration of your Mac mini's drives prior to ordering. To do this, open the Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility app and click on the grey drive icon at the left edge of the window. If you see "Lower" after the "Connection ID" at the bottom-left corner of the window, choose Option HDD - lower bay. If you see "Upper", then you have a unique configuration which will need additional components. You need to choose Option HDD - upper bay. For Upper Bay HDD, please watch Addendum video - scroll down on the page. For Lower Bay HDD, watch videos from Video Tab.

Get more storage when you add a second drive to your Mac mini.

  • Install the second drive in your Mac mini (2011 - 2012)
  • Includes OWC's exclusive Data Doubler plus all the tools you'll need to complete the install
  • Experience quicker booting, faster launching of applications, and more efficient work
  • DIY: FREE installation video walks you through every step

Bigger, Better, Stronger

The Mac mini is already an amazing feat of engineering, and you can pack even more power inside it with the OWC Data Doubler and an OWC Mercury Electra 6G SSD. An OWC SSD is simply the best way to expand capability of your already powerful Mac mini, and even better, you can do it yourself!

OWC Mercury Electra 6G Solid-State Drive (SSD)

This SSD brings some serious horsepower to the track. With SSDs operating dramatically faster than hard drives, you will love the performance gains of
the OWC Mercury Electra 6G SSD. Quicker booting, rapid app launching and more efficient creating are hallmarks of OWC solid-state drives.

With no moving parts, the OWC SSDs are far more stable than conventional hard drives. You can count on significant increases in your read and write speeds, and the Mercury Electra 6G is designed to reduce write degradation over time.

The Right Tools for the Job

With the 5-piece Toolkit from OWC, everything is included to add the OWC SSD in your Mac mini. And once the upgrade is complete, you'll have a handy set of tools for future computer upgrades.
