Apple Mac Mini 1TB Upgrade — Not Easy But Possible

Posted by timothy on from the check-out-that-hot-centerfold dept.

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.

    *Sigh* The MacMini was/is not meant to be upgraded. If you want an upgradeable machine, don't buy a MacMini. Complaining that take it takes an excessive amount of work to upgrade it is like complaining that it takes a massive amount of work to make a MiniCooper pull a boat.
