Answer to "Can I replace existing HDD with a used 320MB SATA Hard Drive" 12/13/2015
To answer the second question first---Yes you will need to erase the new drive and reformat it as a Mac drive. Then you would need to install an Mac operating system to use the new drive. You could do this with the drive installed but have your OS disk handy when you do it. (OS10.6.8 suggested) If after reading this you want to continue I have included a link on how to install the hard drive into your unit, Good luck. Mac mini Model A1176 Hard Drive Replacement
