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)

I utilized this to install a Crucial P2 NVMe SSD in a 2014 Mac Mini. Fit was excellent and the connector mated up without looseness to the logic board. The adhesive on the card held it firmly in place. It is nice to have the screw set and screwdriver included as unless your Mini has an existing PCIe type drive there is no screw to hold the drive to the logic board.

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.

Tengo una Mac mini 2014 late que para muchos sería un equipo obsoleto pero con esto pude instalar un disco M2 y pude experimentar un cambio del cielo a la tierra en velocidad de procesamientos.

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!

Got this item, plugged it in and it worked.

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.

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

Easy install. Wasn’t aware that NVME drives sit at a 30 degree angle, so that freaked me out since I thought my drive was bent. Mac mini detected the drive after a format. Used the included adhesive and screw to seat the adapter appropriately. It fit into the logic board easily.

My installation was a bit more complicated as I had a 1TB fusion drive with bad HDD. I had to buy a tool kit and gut the entire Mac Mini and remove both drives from the drive bay. In fact the built in SSD portion had to be sliced out with a razor blade. The new M.2 holder fit perfectly on top of the empty drive bay. I added the new 500 GB M.2 drive and closed up the machine. From there you can boot to a screen called Internet Recovery, which operates independently of any hard drive. Internet Recovery allowed me to format the new M.2 drive and install Big Sur OS.

It does exactly what you promised. Good stuff
