Sintech M.2 NGFF NVMe SSD Card for Upgrade Mac Mini Late 2014 Year A1347 MEG Series(Only for late 2014 Year,not fit Other year)

Worked perfectly with my 2014 MacMini. Now Ive got a ssd boot drive and I didnt need to disassemble it nearly as much.

Worked perfectly

I installed an Intel 545 SATA SSD on the Mac Mini initially and has been wondering how much difference a PCIe version will make. The PCIe bus on the Mac Mini is only 2.0x2, which max out at 1000MBps. The first 2 photos are Micro Center 256GB PCIe SSD speed tests on the Mac and on a Intel NUC with 3.0x4 PCIe bus. The third one is an Intel SATA SSD on the same Mac. In real life usage, apps do load faster.

worked first time on mac-mini late 2014. was a lot easier installing this than changing the sata.

The adapter works great. The only problem is the screws that come with it dont work well. I ended up just using the adhesive. The screws need to be longer and a spacer should be added for the screw that attaches the card (adapter) to the internal component (Mac Mini 2014) for people that dont want to use the adhesive.

What an absolute easy upgrade. As long as you have the tamper-proof torx bits to get into your Mac Mini this upgrade will take you about 5 minutes to install. My mac mini is super fast now and after reformatting and restoring the OS in the new NVMe SSD I installed my speed has jumped from about 60mps to 700.

This is an easier solution than the Apple option. It let me use the NVMe SSD I already owned and was easy to install. The only downside was with a full length SSD card, the slot to secure the bracket can’t be reached.

Worked great on an older mac mini with a samsung nvme drive

Fits well, easy to install and a good price.

Popped in a few minutes and with a new sd drive formatted and in use in hours. Brought my mac mini back to life
