Or, if you have the server version then this kit: Mac mini Dual Drive Kit As an option you can add in a second drive using this kit: Installing Mac mini Mid 2010 Dual Drive replacing your optical drive.
Depending on which version of system ( 2010 Mac Mini’s (Macmini4,1) you do have a second choice. I’m not sure I understand you listing out the different drive sizes its upto you what your needs are. Not all drives do this! So you picked a winner here as your system is only SATA II (3.0 Gb/s). In truth it runs at all of the SATA speeds: SATA I (1.5 Gb/s), SATA II (3.0 Gb/s) & SATA III (6.0 Gb/s) we call these drives ‘auto sense’ as it will match up with your systems SATA Port I/O speed. Do take the time to read some of the comments before you start.Īs for your choice of SSD’s: The Samsung 860 EVO line is a great drive. Transfer it to your SSD in the same location. At Step 21 you’ll need to take the thermal sensor off, use extreme care! As its very easy to break. A 256MB SSD from one manufacturer could use the same number of memory chips as a 512MB SSD from another manufacturer, and therefore deliver comparable write performance.Here’s the IFIXIT guide you’ll need to follow to swap out your drives: Mac mini Mid 2010 Hard Drive Replacement.
Also, you've got to be careful when comparing SSDs from different manufacturers.
Generally, 512MB, 256MB, and 128MB versions of the same make/model SSD are going to be use the same size memory chips, and the larger models will incorporate more memory chips, resulting in improved write performance. However, a 256MB SSD with eight 32MB chips would deliver significantly better write performance than a 128MB SSD with four 32MB memory chips. For example, a 256MB SSD with eight 32MB memory chips would perform no better than a 128MB SSD with eight 16MB memory chips, all else being equal. Improved performance only occurs when there are more addressable memory chips in the higher capacity model than in the lower capacity model (i.e., improved performance results from spreading the write workload across more chips).
