Review: Good disk, good original ssd replace - Bought about a year, the ssd unit works perfect on my macbookair
Review: 2014 Mac Mini is like a new computer - I have a 2014 Mac mini with 4GB RAM. This is the bottom of the line Mac mini from 2014. It was unbelievably slow. It felt like using a computer from the nineties, as I would wait a minute or more for apps to open or web pages to load. Then I saw this easy to install solid state drive upgrade kit for the 2014 Mac mini that just snaps into place and secures with a few very small screws. It was less than $100 and I read reviews about how adding an SSD made the the 2014 Mac mini so much faster than it was with its standard spinning disc hard drive. But I was uncertain because my bottom of the line Mac mini only had 4GB RAM. Installation took less than 30 minutes. The hardest part was just making a bootable usb drive to load the Mac OS onto the new SSD drive. Thankfully there are so many instructional videos on YouTube about how to do this. So after less installing the drive, I loaded the Mac OS onto the new SSD and started it up. It was like a different computer. Faster. Much, much faster. “Holy Cow!” fast compared to what it was before the installation. I’m not a heavy computer user. The most challenging software I use is Evernote in which I add some simple sketches using a very cheap graphics tablet. So for me this upgrade is all I really needed in a computer. I watch YouTube videos, some Netflix and work on files on Evernote and some numbers spreadsheets all at the same time without any waiting anymore. This SSD kit is awesome!!!
