I recently bought a 2012 Mac Minnie, with the default 4 gbs of ram, I also bought a 16 2 stick ram kit from Amazon for $70 and installed myself, not very hard to do. a second drive is also doable, but I wouldn't try this on my own, it's just to deep into the mini, but if you have sighted help from someone that is some what techy go for it. I will be adding one soon... ----- Original Message ----- From: Mary Otten To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Sent: Wednesday, January 23, 2013 6:33 PM Subject: Mac mini ram and hd questions
I was certain that I had read somewhere that you could have two drives in a mac Mini, 2012 model. But on the Apple site, the build to order options don't allow for that. Am I nuts? Or is this a possible after market add on? I know there aren't many of those. Also curious about peoples' experiences with ram. I'm thinking of the 8 gb upgrade, although there is a 16-gb for 200 dollars more than the 8. I want to run Windows and Mac os, because I still need MS Word and still use k1000. Hence the interest in two drives. I don't do any real big deal processing things on the Mac or Windows, for that matter. But if I had a vm running and email up and software speech and scanning program etc, would the 8 gb suffice? I'd hate to buy an IMac, because I don't need the display nor another keyboard nor a mouse, so it just seems kind of wasteful; hence my interest in another mini. The one I have now is a bit over 3 years old and still going strong, but it runs sl, and I'm starting to have issues, like not being able to use the nightly webkit builds anymore, and I suspect that the web issues are only going to get worse, not better.
