Hello everyone, I am aware that the 'Server' model of the Late 2012 Mac Mini can be specced with 2 SSD's directly from apple, so they must work. I have the 2.3ghz regular model, with a Samsung Evo 250gb SSD already installed and working in the lower HD bay. Mac Mini i3 8GB/128GB + 500GB Samsung X5 Portable SSD $1200 for 628 GB ($799 + $399.99) and you can swap the 500GB drive to another Thunderbolt 3 computer Mac Mini i3 8GB/512GB $1199 for 512 GB that's soldered in place and probably a little faster.

Still one of the best desktops built by Apple I bought this unit to replace an older Mac Mini whose SSD fried. I had six happy years with the previous Mac Mini, that I just had to get this slightly updated unit from 2012, the last model where you could upgrade the RAM memory yourself and quite easily too. For what I do on a daily basis, this model still rocks. I tossed the 4 GB that came with the unit and installed a new 16 GB pair and then updated the OS X to the latest High Sierra, and this hot rod runs smooth as butter. I connected it to a Samsung 4K monitor, and even though the Intel graphics card is not 4K-compatible and certainly slower than any graphics card sold this year, it still does a great job with the basics and colors. Powerful but you may need to upgrade the hardware This is a fantastic value for the money.

The overall specs are good, with solid hardware, RAM, and a decent processor. The only downside is the possible need to change out hard drives depending on your level of patience. If you are used to the speed of a solid state drive, you will be less than thrilled with the initial speed of this machine.

But, leaving aside that minor and easily fixable quibble, this is an excellent machine and if I needed to buy or replace, I would purchase the same model again. Mac mini I have its HDMI output displayed on my 55” UHD TV and for $450 I have a very powerful computer. This one is upgraded to 16GB RAM and it has a 256GB SSD so it is extremely fast. I am using it to learn Xcode and so far so good.

It’s not the same functionality as the wireless Apple mouse, but I am a PC user mostly, so I don’t know what I am missing! Not another review of the last upgrader Contrary to the reviewer who cut and pasted his review from another site, lambasting the platform as a laptop without a monitor. I've read that review in at least 10 other places, word for word btw. This mini has great value for virtualizing workflows and projects. I have one that runs a hyper v server with a freepbx image, and an sql server instance.

My 2nd mini runs as a migration target for this pair of guests, my 3rd mini runs 4 purpose built linux guests including a mail server, freenas connected to 11tb of external space, webapplication server, a kong gateway and a windows 10 development environment. My fourth and fifth minis run as failover sophos home firewalls. Microsoft office 2016 for mac trial version. All built from 2012 minis and with ram upgraded to 16gb in each and HD space upgraded as needed. They all run flawlessly on this architecture even with bootcamp installed to support my windows servers and hyper v.
