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.

    The summary says the actual content is on iFixit, but the link goes to some useless blog which then links to iFixit.

    Link directly to the content, include a via link if you want to reference where you got the link from.

    For the record, the proper article URL where the actual content is follows:
