the only diff is if you purchase a HDD setup then you won't have this cable spare in the machine nor the HDD carrier with the fixing hole. įrom what i understand all 2014 mac mini's have the PCIe connection on the logic board. Therefore this means either a genuine Apple SSD or possibly an Aura SSD. all of which use Apple's special connector.
Pcie ssd for mac mini 2014 pro#
You basically need an SSD that is able to fit in either a recent iMac, recent MacBook Pro Retina, new Mac Pro, etc. Other than a genuine Apple SSD which is often bought by Apple from Samsung but with Apple's special connector which is hard to get after you have bought a Mac - eBay is about the only option, the only new third-party option I have seen that is likely to work is an Aura SSD from OWC. different to the standard M2 the standard Samsung drive will not fit in an Apple slot. The Samsung 950 Pro is a standard PCIe type of SSD and is of a connector type generically called an M2 and a type of card called a NGFF (Next Generation Form Factor) but as Apple use a slightly different proprietary connector i.e.
Note: It sounds like the PCIe carrier you are saying you have ordered is a full-size one and as such it would only fit and work in a classic Mac Pro. Various models have had mini PCIe slots intended for use with WiFi cards which they came with as standard, and the latest Mac mini 2014 model has a special non-standard PCIe slot solely intended for Apple's own SSD. The Mac mini (any version) has never had a standard PCIe slot.
