Thanks!!! I just used your guide on mine, luckily it was the first drive that was dead. Works now and this was better than the ifixit guide.

There are differences in the order of the HDD? What is the HDD master and what slave HDD? Thanks
-
I just striped the screw even with the right tool-OWC is there anything I can do I can't remove the screw

Outstanding video. I plan on upgrading hd 1 to an SSD soon, once I find the easiest way to transfer the OS to the new drive before install.

@OWCmacsales Rock on!

@employee3dotcom Somehow the upload to the Mac mini 2010 Hard Drive installation video to YouTube was missed - thanks for pointing it out. It is on our channel now.

@OWCmacsales Still waiting.

This is an excellent tear down guide, and had me successfully upgrade my mac. If I had any feedback at all, it would have been to actually show each screw before inserting it; just like with the long logic board screw. It wasn't a problem in this machine, however for more complicated tear downs with more screws it may get fuzzy. But nonetheless, extremely thankful and impressed with this video.
Hi, great video! Would a 12,5mm or a 0.49 inch Hard drive fit?

@kongwolf The Mac mini Server can accept up to two 2.5" standard (9.5mm) hard drives or SSDs. 12.5mm drives will not fit.

Is there a way to upgrade the processor on your own for the new mac mini.
Like putting the new i3 or something? If there is could you possibly make a video for that

@kingschill23 At this time, we do not sell a processor upgrade for the Mac mini. If or when they become available, you can rest assured that OWC will be there with an installation video.
