Chosen Solution
Hi, I recently replaced my 1TB Fusion Drive with a 2TB SSD. During the hardware installation, I’ve noticed, that the internal design is not very different from the 2012 model and the space, where the SSD was mounted also could host a normal 2.5" SSD drive. Does somebody know if this setup would work? Are there any solutions available? Also due to the fact, that the 2,5" drives are much cheaper than the proprietary Apple SSDs, this could be a budget solution (like I have in another 2012 mini: 500GB SSD + 2TB HDD). Thanks Frank
Almost the same ;-} Unlike the older model which had two SATA ports, your system has a PCIe & one SATA port. Because of the I/O speed difference you can’t RAID the drives. Since you have upgraded your PCIe drive you still have the SATA port available. Follow this IFIXIT guide: Mac mini Late 2014 Hard Drive Replacement and you’ll need this kit Mac mini Dual Drive Kit
You can RAID the drives if you really wanted to
