Samsung Ssd For Mac Mini 2012

broken image


I finally made the jump to upgrade my 2012 Mac Mini to dual Samsung 500gb 850 Evo SSDs and between the ifixit guide and the kit – everything went swimmingly. The issue arose once I tried to get OS X back onto the drives. I wanted to do a clean install from a USB drive or Internet Recovery and both kept failing. It would install, but I'd get the 'no' error on boot (the circle with a slash through it).

I finally thought to install OS X on the other drive and it went in without a hitch. Looking in Disk Utility, the problem drive is the 'upper' one (the one with the ifixit cable).

I ran a speed test and was getting the expected 500MB/s speeds on the 'lower' drive, and the write test for the 'upper' drive was 500MB/s, but the read test completely failed. Perplexed, I switched it out for a traditional HDD in that spot and everything was gravy. I even put that SSD in an external enclosure and everything was working fine on multiple machines.

Thanks!

Is this a good question?

Password cracker for mac. To crack a password-protected RAR file, then you need to recover the password and unlock the document. But times will come when you are going to overlook the password. This could be because the password has been tampered with by you or somebody else, or you forgot the password as it's overly intricate and muddled up.

Can you explain how you have the drives setup. Remember you can't use a Fusion setup.

Mac Mini 2012 Ssd Drive

Hi Dan! The drives were just independently installed in both bays. They're not RAID, fusion, or anything special. Just a couple o' drives. I was planning on using one to boot from and one to use for whatever (backups, media ,etc).
