Find great deals on eBay for hard drive for mac mini. Shop with confidence. Feb 12, 2015 I've been doing some research into the process and for the most part, it doesn't seem too difficult with installing an SSD as a 2nd drive into the Mac Mini (thanks to the thousands of YouTube videos on how to do it). Hi, I bought a few months ago a Mac Mini i7 2.6GHz, and it came with a 1 TB 5400 RPM hard drive. As everyone, I would like to 'upgrade' my system for a faster drive; but not with a SSD. Apple's new Mac mini 2014 packs more punch in its slimline design with the latest Intel processor, HD graphics, and room for more storage and memory when needed. 
Hi, I bought a few months ago a Mac Mini i7 2.6GHz, and it came with a 1 TB 5400 RPM hard drive. As everyone, I would like to 'upgrade' my system for a faster drive; but not with a SSD. I want to put a 7200 RPM 750 GB hard drive in the mini Mac (Seagate Momentus XT 750 hybrid SSD/HDD). 1) I know that the server version of the Mac Mini holds two 5400RPM hard drives, and that it must work (obviously). Is there a problem if I put two hard drives of different speed next to each other in a so tiny Mac? Should I expect some heat or fan anomalies? 2) Is 1) is OK, and knowing that the 7200 will be for the system and the 5400 for storage only, then which one of the hard drives should be on the top (near the Apple logo)?
Adobe suite for pc. The hybrid hard drive comes from my 2 years old MacBook Pro, which I've upgraded with an 256 GB SSD. I have not use any migration for it because I wanted it as a brand new computer, and that's fine.
I want the system and all the softs in the Mac mini; in the same drive as it was in the MBP i.e. I thought that it was just about putting the drive in the mini and tadaaaaa. But the technician from the Apple reseller told me it was a bit more tricky. I have done a Time machine of my 7200 while it was still in the MBP, and I've used the migration manager in the 5400RPM hard drive of the Mac Mini (both are Mountain Lion).
So I have basically three hard drives with the same information: - the 7200RPM which wait in a box to be installed in the mini - the 5400RPM which is in the mini, and that I use just like I've used the MBP - the external hard drive which was the time machine of the 7200 and now of the 5400. Now that I've upgraded my MBP with a SSD and that I've received the OWC data doubler, I'm ready to open my Mini! 3) Is there a way for me to 'copy' the system from one disk to an other inside the same Mac, because I'm lazy and that I do not want to do the Migration procedures all over again.?
