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)

Got this item, plugged it in and it worked.

Great experience with the product and installation on my Mac Mini 2014. Was able to install a PCIE NVME Drive that acted as the main boot up drive along side the original hard drive as storage. Since it is difficult to self remove and replace the factory drive, this is a perfect alternative solution if you want an SSD installed. Highly recommended!

It was really easy to install. The kit comes with 2 Phillip screws and a screwdriver for them (no T6) to secure the adapter to the Mac mini and to secure the SSD to the adapter, respectively. The installation was really easy and fast. I used a T6 security torx screwdriver to open the Mac mini, remove the adhesive strip from the adapter, set the adapter into position, press down the adapters conector against the available SATA port (readily visible once you remove the Mac mini bottom lid) and installed the SSD (Crucial P1 500GB). That simple! I booted into macOS High Sierra (does not work with Sierra or prior versions of macOS) and the SSD was immediately recognized and requested to format. When I run the speed test with Blackmagic disk speed test software I get 700 MB/s write and nearly 800 MB/s read. Ive even got to configure it as a fusion drive using the Mac minis factory 1TB HDD! It made my Mac mini late 2014 usable, because it was painfully slow.

Great adapter for 2014 mac mini. Easy to install. However my only issue was the screw placement had to be so perfect i needed a 3rd hand to hold it all in place.

Do this for increased internal storage. Easy to do, check YouTube for tutorials…worth the investment of time and money.

Item was of the most choice quality! Packaging was super. Peerless delivery. A+++

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.

My 2014 Mac Mini was running on a 5400rpm platter drive and it was taking full minutes to boot up and get to a workable desktop. I was ready to replace it completely with a brand new one. Then I got this and put in a 1TB SSD in addition to the 1TB platter drive. Now it boots and runs like brand new and I use the platter drive for long term storage. If you have a 2104 Mac Mini that you want to breathe new life into this is the solution.

This did exactly what it claimed to do. It did it perfectly. It was reasonably priced. It got to me sooner than I expected. What could be better.

A standard NVMe SSD Samsung with this adapter works great in an Mac Mini.
