What type of SSD for Mac mini 2014? M.2?
Hello,
I have the Mac mini late 2014, the mid model, with the i5 at 2,6 ghz, iris graphics, 8 gb ram, 1 TB HDD.
From what I gather, I have a free slot on the machine for an SSD. All I need to do is to buy a cable from IFIXIT.
I want to get a SSD and use it with the 1 TB HDD that already come with the Mini. What interface should the new SSD be? M.2? Also, I have a SATA 3 SSD in a drawer... I can't use it at all,no?
Is this a good question?

Just remember you still need an Apple SSD (or OWC compatible SSD)

I have this exact model and I want to add a PCI SSD into this space. I understand I can buy this part (Mac Mini Dual Hard Drive Kit) https://eustore.ifixit.com/products/mac-... and the OWC Aura Pro X2 SSD

Could someone please confirm these two items are what I need?
Thanks.
