> 24 hourThe kit pretty much comes with everything you need. There are videos online that take you step by step through taking the unit apart and putting it back together. I didnt use the new connector choosing instead to just use the existing one. I did not need any tech support to get the job done.

> 24 hourThis drive worked very well for me. The included tool set was a big bonus, and the video instructions on how to install were clear and informative; installation was a breeze. The drive is very fast, and has cut down load/save time by nearly 50% versus the original drive. Very happy with the purchase.

> 24 hourMy 2014 MacMini (i3/4GB) - is mainly used for video services connected to TV. It would take over 10 minutes to boot up - and the lack of memory caused the iOS (Catalina) to rely heavily on the hard drive. Now boots take about 10 seconds - and programs open on first click (not 30 to 40 seconds later) This is a little pricy compared to replacing the HD - but so much easier. Installed this in less than 10 minutes. All of the special screws and drivers included. About an hour to format and install Catalina on the new drive. The videos on the OWC site pretty much give a complete run down on what needs to be done. Now using the mini a lot more for other content - plus the old HD is still there for either backup or file storage

> 24 hourYou won’t be disappointed. Faster speed than a SSD via the SATA connector and easier to install. Make sure once you transfer your data that you disable the original SATA connected drive or it will slow down the mini on boot up and randomly once booted up.

> 24 hourThe install was easy enough, and the performance of my mac mini has increased greatly over the standard 1tb spinning platter disk. But the performance is not as described? But I am still happy with the performance with this upgrade.

> 24 hourBought this to try and speed up my 2014 Mac Mini. Very easy and fast installation. The videos were extremely helpful. Formatting and performing a clean install of OSX was , again, very easy because the instructions were clear and concise. Net result - MUCH faster performance now.

> 24 hourOWC has the installation videos on their website that show how to to install this SSD in a 2014 Mac mini. All of the hardware necessary to properly install the SSD is provided. The process is pretty easy, and the results are over 10 times faster than the original equipment hard drive. Note that the original hard drive can also stay installed and used for additional (and slower) storage. Definitely recommended, for how easy it was.

Keep The Mac you know:
From drives to gear to stickers, you’ve put time into making your Mac your own. The Aura Pro X2 can give you up to 16x more storage and up to double the speed of the original drive. With that capacity and power, you can keep your Mac running optimally for years — at a fraction of the cost of buying a new model.
Continuous Compatibility:
Aura Pro X2 is designed for the latest macOS versions (macOS High Sierra 10.13 and later), taking full advantage of the advanced features of APFS including: strong encryption, copy-on-write metadata, space sharing, cloning for files and directories, snapshots, fast directory sizing, atomic safe-save primitives, and improved file system fundamentals.
macOS 10.13 High Sierra (or later macOS) must be installed on the host computer before installing the Aura Pro X2 SSD. These OS versions include an EFI firmware update for your host computer. Without the update, your new Aura Pro X2 will not function. When installing macOS to your new SSD, boot and press Cmd-Opt-R, then follow the prompts. This will ensure the latest OS version is installed.
Get Up and Zoom:
In addition to groundbreaking read and write speeds, the Aura Pro X2 is engineered with enhanced burst performance. This means your files load faster and stream fluidly, giving you an edge on your workflow, games, and creativity.
Easy DIY Upgrade:
In just 15 minutes, you can transform your Mac with Aura Pro X2 for speed and storage to rival the latest models. OWC video tutorials walk your through removing your original SSD and replacing it with a new one. Plus, our award-winning US-support team is a just phone call or chat away.
