While past Mac Minis have featured two SATA ports, allowing users to upgrade their base model with an extra hard drive, this year we only get one.
However, this empty socket over here may well be a spot for a PCIe cable, enabling the installation of a blade SSD.
More on this once we get our hands on a Fusion-equipped Mac Mini.

I have the same question.Wait for some one has an answer.
you can use the 9.5mm one.
Forcyy - I think its too soon to tell if a larger HD would fit or not.
@Dan look at the teardown by owc. the hdd in the pic is 9.5mm.
look at the 18th pic .
I can confirm the bay supports up to 9.5mm. As I ibetalled a WD 750gb in my Mac mini today.
