Hi,
idea is buy a Mini with only HDD and install later a standard PCIe SSD (Crucial for example)
Have you planned to design an adapter from PCIe Apple connector to standard PCIe SSD ?

Is this a good question?

No adapters, proprietary means - impossible to find. If you want the SSD buy it as OEM.

Can anyone confirm that this part number will fit: 821-1506-B
It looks like it is the same.

Did you look at the tear-down? "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.
Yes I did, but I was wondering as that part i wrote will work to install a PCIe SSD?
Write a comment on the tear down page?

I believe the SSD in pcie 12+16 pin not 8+18 as that part number is Andy .
OWC did a tear down a mini with the fusion drive and there is in fact a PCIe SSD on the top of the drive sled, with the HD underneath

Hum would say, we need at this time buy a PCIe OWC or Apple SSD, what i wait is to see if it's possible to find adapter to install standard PCIe SSD (as Crucial or other brand).

Its a custom Apple version of the PCIe units that is used in other systems.
Aie ;( need to buy an OWC PCIe SSD compatible, but price is high !
