    It's a T6. I just did that step replacing a hard drive.

    Daniel -

    Hi… Good. I have a query, I want to change my internal hard drive from my Mac Mini (mid) 2011, and my query is whether to remove the fan screws and other parts, which from what I was informed is the Torx T6 screwdriver. And my question is: to remove it I need a Torx T6 screwdriver with a hollow point or the Torx T6 with a flat tip will work for me. From what I have read, that the hollow point Torx are called Precision Torx or are identified with an "H" after the number in this case: "T6H". The same query is to remove the cover where the WiFi is, should I use a Torx T8 hollow point or does the flat point work for me? From now on I thank you get me out of this doubt, before doing something wrong. Thank you very much and greetings. Image (Augusto)

    Augusto - Responder

    Hi Augusto,

    You can use a standard non-hollow Torx T6 for these screws, though a hollow one would work too. The hollow indent in a Torx bit is for Torx security/tamper-proof screws. The security screws have a small nub in the center, which prevents standard Torx bits from working.

    Is the additional hard drive port available on all models of the mini, or is it limited to the higher-end models?

    Zhi Wei Ho - Responder

    It's the same on all models, since none of the models have a Superdrive anymore. So the space exists… it's just a matter of figuring out which "SATA hard drive-to-logic board cable" to get.

    Joram Oudenaarde -

    We tore apart a 2.3 GHz model, so if it's there, it's likely to be in all models.

    David Hodson -

    So is it correct that the HD replacement is much easier than on the previous unibody Mini? From this teardown it looks like the HD can be removed without lifting up the logic board, and the HD cover looks more substantial than on the previous model.

    amenewooduk - Responder

    Well wait....I understand that I need an additional special cable to hook up a SECOND HDD. But for a simple replacement of the 500gb with a 2TB (which should be what lot of us are looking for) I can use the existing cables? Would a simple replacement work?

    Peter Forks - Responder

    From what we've seen, you should be fine. There aren't any funky thermal sensor cables or anything like that, just a classic plug-and-play HD swap.

    David Hodson -

    the second port was Optical drive flex cable

    EduardoRomcy - Responder

    hi! I have a 2011 Mac Mini and wanted to add an SSD to it, rather than replacing the existing 500GB harddrive; I looked everywhere for a compatible SATA flex to logic board cable without much luck, but I finally found a solution from OWC the SSD manufacturer, originally aimed at MacBook Airs, that looks like it would work -- do you think it would? Thanks! - Daniel

    http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/SSD/OWC/A...

    Daniel Valencia - Responder

    It looks similar, but the geometry is different so it wouldn't work. The cable in that link has the board-side connector rotated 90 degrees from how the Mac mini cable has it, and the cable extends in the wrong direction on it. Sorry to burst your bubble.

    Andrew Bookholt -

    You're right, I see that now. I guess this is the only option: http://www.welovemacs.com/9229560.html

    Question: Does it matter if the SSD, with OSX on it, is on the secondary SATA port? (the default unused one)

    Daniel Valencia -

    We put a 60 GB platter HD with OSX on the second port and it was recognized right away in disk utility. I don't see why adding an SSD would be any different. Should work just fine.

    Andrew Bookholt -

    Thanks Andrew. Quick question, does this cable support SATA III? Is this the one you used?

    http://www.welovemacs.com/9229560.html

    thank you much,

    Daniel Valencia -

    Than what is this mysterious socket on the logic board?

    SUCESS: Notes on Installing SSD in 2011 Mac Mini

    hi all,

    I replaced the HD in my mac mini with a OWC Electra SSD 6G.

    1. Fan speed the same after; there is no sensor to worry about.

    2. make sure to remove black plastic cover off of old hard drive before pulling SATA cable out of old HD; otherwise you won't be able to.

    3. The OWC video guide is great, but you don't need to pull out the motherboard; there is just enough room to slide the old HD out and the new one in.

    4. Installing Lion over the Internet with Int Recovery worked, but I had to change my wireless network from WPA2 security to WPA and disable uPNP; not sure why. Go with most basic/compatible settings.

    After Lion downloaded (4 hours), it installed in 4.2 minutes flat. Jaw-dropping speed.

    thanks all,

    d

    ps: mac mini exhaust fan speed of ~1800 rpm is normal under light load.

    Daniel Valencia -

    PS: I used both the iFixit guide and the OWC video when I did my upgrade, and I needed both to do it right. Note that OWC suggests removing the motherboard to exchange the hd, but as iFixit points out, this is not necessary to get the HD out or the new one in.

    • このユニボディのMac Miniには、「自分で2つ目のハードドライブを設置できるのか?」という1つの大きな疑問があります。余分なスペースが1.5 cmあるところを見ると、できそうですね。

    • 1つ目の下には、2つ目のハードドライブに十分なスペースがあります。唯一の難点は、2番目のハードドライブをロジックボードに接続するには、長いSATAケーブルが必要となることです。

    • 最新情報:当社のMac mini Mid 2011ハードドライブ増設キットにはこのケーブルが付属しています。

    • ロジックボードを取り出して、詳しく中を見てみましょう。

    Hi everyone, 3 questions please:

    1. It is mentioned that the HDD has 2 screws to unscrew but from the images I fail to see where these screws are located. Can you please shed some more light on thieir exact locations?

    2. I got the Mac Mini Server 2011 so question is if I want to replace one of the drives with SSD drive, which one of the pre-installed drive should I replace with the SSD drive?

    3. Which SSD drive & cable to use? Would I require additional parts to hold/wrap the SSD so it'll fit well?

    Thanks!

    Tal - Responder

    Your Questions:

    1. The 2 screws holding the HDD in place are actually 2 of the screws that also hold the antenna plate in place (the 2 closest to the edge of the antenna plate). The teardown glosses over this, but once the antenna plate is gone, the HDD screws are also out.

    2. I think there are only peg holders for one drive; so I would install the rotary hd in the pegged slot, and then the SSD, which is lighter and less subject to vibration, perhaps on the bottom using some removable mounting tape.

    3. You'll use the cables already in your server model. As far as drives, I've done a lot of research and almost any SandForce 2281 controller 6Gb drive should do well. I'm using the OWC Electra 6g. I like OWC because they test all of their equipment across the Mac lineup.

    hope this helps,

    Is it possible to upgrade the 6630m graphics card?

    rikky - Responder

    Once you take the server version apart, you'll be able to see what the second disk cable looks like. It will also be interesting to see if the i7 quad-core is much bigger than the CPUs installed in this model.

    off-topic, sorry: I look at the size of the motherboard and can envision a Mac blade server using the quad i7 with the MBA memory drive for booting. The mini's have Thunderbolt so connection of RAIDs not a problem. Expand RAM capability to 4 slots and you could have half a 5U rack with 1-2 dozen mini blades with the other half holding a bunch of disks.

    plink53 - Responder

    I too have successfully bought the iFixit 2nd hard drive kit and installed an OWC Mercury Extreme SSD and loaded the OS only on it which has really made a huge difference and increased overall speed of my 2011 Mac Mini. I found it fairly easy to do and have also upgraded Ram to 16gb. I am extremely happy with the results. I encourage anybody to try the SSD option to load just the OS option on the SSD. I most cases you can get away with a very affordable 64gb SSD drive.

What is the empty socket located about an inch above the CPU and GPU on the motherboard (same side as the SATA sockets)?

Edge - Responder

Maybe it has something to do with the Radeon 6630m model? I ordered the Core i7/6630m model, I'll check when I get it and report anything different I see.

Francois -

The same socket exists on the 6630M version (I put an SSD in my i5/2.5/500 prior to this take apart.)

Edge -

What sort of cable is recommended for adding a second drive? I would like to buy a bare bones man mini, install a second ssd drive, and then install Lion on the ssd drive and use that as the boot drive.

rmiller67 - Responder

As we say in Step 7, you'll need an Apple proprietary SATA cable. Maybe someone will get their hands on a server version of the new Mac Mini and reverse engineer both of the cables so that they can start manufacturing ones that will fit perfectly.

David Hodson -

Is there any hard drive sensor cable this time around? Less small cable to remove/put back = less chance of breaking things! :)

Francois - Responder

There is no separate temp sensor, just the single flat cable from motherboard to the SATA hard drive (unless the temp sensor wiring is included in a custom SATA port on the 500GB hard drive. With an SSD in place, my fan is noticeably running, but I am not sure whether it is due to heat from the SSD/GPU/CPU combination.)

Edge -

Can you check your fan speed RPM? With istat or something like that? I think the max speed is 6000RPM, so let't hope that upgrading the HDD won't give the same problem as the 2011's iMac

Francois -

SMC fan control reports 1800rpm minimum fan speed. This is with an upgraded SSD and a Dual-DVI -> 30" Cinema Display (using discrete 6630M GPU.)

Edge -

The 2010 Mac Mini models had temperature sensors on the hard drive, that proved to be a little trick to remove and install a replacement hard drive.

Is it still an issue or did Apple change it?

Zillo - Responder

Is it possible to upgrade the Intel processors?

Zillo - Responder

No. See the note in the guide, it is soldered to the motherboard.

Edge -

How hard is it to add a second hard drive?

Ian Bauters - Responder

The possibility to add a second hard drive does exist for a long time!: http://www.mcetech.com/optibay/

qsd - Responder

How about a link to buy one of those funky sata cables? For people who want to install a 2nd hard drive

James Young - Responder

That would be nice! I'll buy a intro Mini to use as a media server if I can add another HDD to it.

Alex Reich -

I would be véry interested in that as well. Apparently we need a "SATA hard drive-to-logic board cable", but I'm really eager to know this for sure. I've also read that the Mini 2011 has a SATA-III (Sata-600) connection, which would make installing an SSD afterwards all the more interesting.

The second someone has a link to the "SATA hard drive-to-logic board cable", I'll buy me one and a Mac Mini with dedicated GPU and the i7 CPU… that would be one seriously little powerhouse! :)

Joram Oudenaarde -

Does the 2011 Mac mini have SATA revision 3.0? I would like to know if I need to buy a new 6Gb/s OWC SSD to take full advantage of any revision. If not, I can put my existing 3Gb/s SSD in the machine, and use the drive it comes with as a data/media HDD.

Alex Reich - Responder

From what I've read on Appleinsider's and Macrumor's forum so far, it has SATA-III :)

Joram Oudenaarde -

Yes.

I can confirm that System Information reports a 6 Gigabit link. My SSD is only SATA II (3 Gigabit) so I am unable to test throughput.

I also have a flat cable from a 2010 mini server to test the second HD.

Edge -

Can the previous man mini's DVD drive be connected to this logic board?

shklak - Responder

Hm... is possible to put the a DVD burner on this new model? the space is the same? If is possible, i just need to "cut" the case, right? What is the DVD burner model? Thanks.

Sergio Eurico - Responder

I was thinking you could swap the case from the 2010 model, but would like to see someone else try.

Allen S Harvey Jr -

I've been looking at the teardowns for both models. The shapes of all the relevant parts appear to be the same, so it seems likely that the case + drive bracket + optical drive of the previous model should be compatible with the other parts of this new one. We won't know for certain until someone gives it a try, though.

cityzen -

I was thinking the same thing, but I was looking at moving the new MB, and other parts into the 2010 chassis as it already has the slot. I am in the process of getting a used 2010 and 2011 to try it. I will get back to you guys if it works! I am just wondering if there is a place on the newer MB to connect a optical drive, such as to the second HD connector that is there.

danielrhodes47 -

I found the attached site which sells 2010 Server 2nd HD cables, which I am guessing would be nearly identical? Would something like this work for the 2011 Mini?

A teardown of the Mini Server would be really great just to see how they are packing the two HD's now.

http://www.welovemacs.com/9229560.html

codemonkeyx - Responder

Interesting that that isn't just the same part (the one in the device, not the longer one you need), but it's also the same photograph of the part.

So who takes these photographs. I always assumed that they were taken by iFixit when they disassembled the device.....

alex -

Nice catch, alex. The teardown image was taken without iFixit's permission and used as the product picture on their site.

Miroslav Djuric -

Looks like the second hard drive cable part number is 922-9560 the same one as the 2010 mac mini server

Peter Scott - Responder

If that's true, then adding a second hard drive just got a lot easier. Thanks for the info!

*Notes on Fan Speed & 2011 Mini Noise Level*

--

I've owned both the 2010 base model as well as the 2011 Radeon model of the mac mini, so I wanted to post some comments about the exhaust fan an noise level. As read from iStatPro system monitoring tool, there are at least 10 temp readout locations inside the mac mini. Both the 2010 and 2011 models single fans idle at around 1800RPM, when the temp of the processor is around 70 deg C, and HD is around 33 deg C (and Radeon GPU core around 65 dec C in 2011 model). RPMs increase linearly primarily in response to CPU heat; at medium CPU load at 74dC, it increases to ~2800RPM, which is lightly audible; at moderately heavy CPU load, 78dC, it inc to ~3500, which is minorly annoyingly audible; at full CPU load it goes past 80dC and ~4000rpm, which is quite loud by mac mini standards. This was rare in my 2010 C2Duo, and is rare in my 2011 core i5 2.5ghz; usually, in my 2011 model, CPU usage hovers around 30% across the cores, even under pretty heavy load. When gaming, the GPU gets as hot as 74dC, but the CPU is not at full capacity, and the fan usually sits at around ~2900RPM which is pretty quiet. This was in max resolution, highest detail game (Bioshock for Mac).

--

Regarding replacing the HDD with a non-apple SSD, Fan speed the same after; there is no special HDD sensor to worry about. According to the temp readouts from iStatPro, the hard drive temperature is still being read in the 2011 mini, likely via the S.M.A.R.T. hdd interface. It's uncertain if the mini's one main exhaust fan factors this temp into its rotation speed. My SSD never changes in temp by more than a few degrees C.

-

Hope this helps regarding noise level concerns!

Daniel Valencia - Responder

Since there is room for a second HD and it looks like they only changed the bracket from the 2010 model, could a the parts from this 2011 be put into a 2010 chassis with an optical drive? Is there a place for an optical drive to connect to?

danielrhodes47 - Responder

The connector broke that powers the light. Where can I find 3 volts to power the LED?
