Installing Mac mini Mid 2011 Dual Hard Drive Kit

2 - 4 hours

Moderate

My Problem

would fall asleep watching my mac's progress bar at bootup

My Fix

easy, with the ifixit guide on my iPad and

the dual drive kit.

My Advice

1. make sure you have a current time machine backup for restoring to the new drive. (i wanted the new ssd drive to be the startup drive and wanted to copy all apps to it. including server)

2. format the new drive after installing it, so time machine can see it as a drive in it's 'restore to' list.

3. pick the new drive as the startup drive in the 'startup disk' control panel

3. be patient reinstalling the circuit bd. cables and the antenna wire. they're delicate.

4. the guides and parts are excellent at ifixit, and it's a great company. so glad they are willing to put those surf boards down long enough to help us out!
