Apple Mac Mini 1TB Upgrade — Not Easy But Possible

designperfection9 writes "The new Mac mini is all well and good, but anybody hoping for gobfuls of extra capacity will come away disappointed. Apple's entry-level mini gets 120GB of storage, and it costs $175 to take that up the official 320GB maximum. Happily iFixit decided to step in and take matters into their own hands, with a nine-page pictorial guide to fitting your Mac mini with 1TB of storage." They're also offering a kit to accomplish the same end for $250 — that seems high to me now that 1TB external drives can be had for quite a bit less, and require no putty-knife action to install.

    Anything worth doing, is worth doing with a little putty-knife action.

    I hate when submitters do this...the link goes to some useless blog which then links to iFixit.

    They do it in remembrance of Roland, you insensitive clod!

    Why would you ever want to do this?

    You must be new here. Did you buy that three-digit id or what? ;-)
