I have a late 2012 mac mini and the internal 1TB HDD was slowing down the whole mac to a near crawl. I replaced it with this Crucial BX300 240GB SSD drive and it's lightning fast now. The old hard drive can be removed easily following the various online guides. However, you can stop once you unscrew the wifi antenna (usually step 12 in the guides), you don't actually need to disconnect the antenna, just move it to the side. So a straight replacement saves the whole process of removing the logic board. You will need to angle the old HDD just right in order to remove it and not catch on the memory modules. Fitting the SSD drive is much easier as it is thinner and slips in easily. I used a credit card to slide it back in and locate the two holes and also keep it supported when screwing to the antenna grid (which completes the supporting of the drive). I considered creating a Fusion drive and/or keeping the old HDD internally with a 2 bay kit, but thought it was just easier to replace the HDD with the SSD and not have to remove the logic board. Money saved on the 2 bay kit can be used for an external drive enclosure for the original HDD. I used black magic disk speed test and get mostly 470MB/s Write and always 510 MB/s Read. The 240GB drive is 160GB full, with disk encryption (filevault2) on. It took 45mins to complete the job. Before fitting, I used carbon copy cloner to create the bootable SSD drive from the original HDD using an external caddy. I just unchecked the imovies library and iphoto library so it would fit sizw wise. These will be held on an external drive. Once I clarified this booted and worked I fitted the drive. Incidentally, my whole system ran faster booting from the SSD drive is an USB2 attached caddy compared to the internal HDD on Sata6. So the original mac HD was really letting the whole mac mini down. I read a review before purchase, which seemed to indicate this is a hidden jem with some very good performance and much better than the old BX series, surpassing the current MX300 is some areas. Review: Works well and easy to install - I bought this to upgrade an older Core2 2.4GHz PC that was already using a 64GB SSD plus 500GB HDD and Windows 10. I wanted the extra capacity as my 64GB C: boot drive was very nearly full, despite my best attempts to move as many programs and data to the HDD as possible. The installation process was surprisingly quick and easy using the special (locked) Crucial version of Acronis clone software, which is available as a free download from the Crucial web site. If you read the instructions published by Crucial you might be lead to believe that you need a USB to SATA interface cable to connect the new drive to your PC ready to clone the existing boot drive to. This is undoubtable true for laptops and probably many desktops too, but I found that I could temporarily disconnect my internal SATA DVD drive and use the cables to connect the new SSD instead and the Acronis software found it automatically when using its Clone Tool. I suspect that this gives faster transfers than via USB, especially if you only have USB 2.0 ports as I have and not USB 3.0. With the data transfer done (it took only a few minutes) I swapped out the old SSD for the new Crucial drive (I didn't need the supplied spacer for my HDD bay), reconnected my DVD drive and powered up to find Windows 10 running just as I had hoped for. But I am surprised to find that not only do I have the extra capacity but the whole PC seems to be running a lot faster and smoother. I expect the BX300 read and write speeds are somewhat faster than my old Samsung drive but the speed improvement seems to be greater than that might account for. Perhaps the old drive was nearing its end of life and had slowed as a consequence? Or maybe the Windows Page file just worked better with more storage space? Either way, I am very pleased with the end result and if you too are looking to upgrade an older PC I can recommend this Crucial SSD. ## Features - More than 300 Percent faster than a typical hard drive - More than 45x more energy efficient than a typical hard drive - Protect your data with more durability than a hard drive, no small moving parts that are prone to failure - Available in capacities up to 480 GB in 2.5 Inch form factor - Make installation and data migration easy with crucial step-by-step install guide and free access to Acronis true image HD software ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0742BC3DQ | | Are Batteries Included | No | | Brand | Crucial | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (3,384) | | Date First Available | 16 Oct. 2018 | | Guaranteed software updates until | unknown | | Hard Disk Description | Solid State Drive | | Item Weight | 99.9 g | | Item model number | CT240BX300SSD1 | | Manufacturer | Micron | | Product Dimensions | 10.03 x 0.71 x 7 cm; 100.07 g | | Series | Crucial BX300 | | Wattage | 60 watts | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Crucial - **Cache size:** 240 - **Compatible devices:** Desktop - **Connectivity technology:** SATA - **Digital storage capacity:** 240 GB - **Hard disk description:** Solid State Drive - **Hard disk form factor:** 2.5 Inches - **Installation type:** Internal Hard Drive - **Model name:** Crucial BX300 - **Read speed:** 555 Megabytes Per Second ## Images ![BX300 CT240BX300SSD1 240 GB Internal SSD (3D NAND, SATA, 2.5 Inch) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81-cy+3W8jL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect for MacMini Late 2012. *by R***N on 13 September 2017* Superb.

I've always been an early SSD adopter since the Crucial M300 SSDs many years ago personally and with the massively falling SSD prices, this model being one of the latest Crucial SSDs was a solid option in terms of price and value. Windows 10 Ultimate was installed in less than 15 - 20 minutes and boot up times are now significantly faster, just a little bit over 10 seconds which is an excellent performance boost on an older laptop. It also uses much less power than a traditional mechanical 2.5" HDD so she has noticed slightly improved battery life too.
