Ssd For Mac Mini 2011
Posted:adminGet everything you need to upgrade your 2011 Mac mini SSD for a total system performance and capacity boost. All SSDs are backed by a lifetime warranty.
Hi, long time since i have been here in this forum! Uninstall avast for mac. Anyway, i have some question! I am doing music on my mac mini. Composing and playing music using Cubase element 7.
Every things working. Since i invested / bought lot of expensive vst plugin, which require a powerfull pc or mac with a fast hdd for streaming, i am conidering buying a SSD for mac mini, either a internal or external SSD via Thunderbolt! But i am in doubt, i mean what should i do, regarding buying SSD.
Let me explain, but first of all, here is my Mac mini spec below: Mac mini midt ( june?) 2011. Core i5 2.3ghz 16 gb ram 1333 ghz. Intel HD 3000 graphics card. Internal 500gb 5400 rpm hdd. 1 firewire 800 port. Thunderbolt port.
Superdrive dvd burner. Soundcard: external semi pro firewire Impact Twin with dsp. These spec should be enough for cubase and virtual instrument, execpt the slow HDD. I even tried to edit video in HDD, no glitches or problems! But the internal HDD is properly to slow for virtual instrument?
I am thinking about installing a internal Samsung evo 512gb SSD, which is fairly cheap in Denmark. But i have seen lots of complain about Samsung evo performance being slow.
Due to the fact that the Mac mini 2011 Sata controller can only provide max up to 3gb, because the mac mini 2012 dosent have Sata3? I have even seen people complaining about mac mini 2011 only have sata2 with 1.5 gb transfer rate?
Is that true?? The mac mini should have 6gb sata?! Even my 'old' selfbuild pc has both 3gb and 6gb sata! Allso Some user on some forum said that installing a normal internal 7200 rpm would'nt gain any performance over a 5400 rpm internal hdd?, i found that hard to believe! If i have to replace the internal hdd, i have to do a clean install Lion, which i have to buy on appstore ( its still is available on appstore). Maybe i can buy a external Lacie 256gb SSD thunderbolt instead?
( 500gb version is very expensive!). Here is my list of vst plugin i bought! Halion 5 East West hollywood string East West complete composet collection 2, containing following - East west symphonic orchestra Goliath Solo violin storm drum 2 Syngery ivory grand piano 2. Voice of passion many more plugins, all bought version! All my vst instrument take up aprox. 350gb disk size!
I am not saying any thing really, i just lot of 'this and that' rubish from forums, which made me confuse like ****, now i have to sort out the fact about mac mini related to SSD etc. And since you're helping me, i am beginning to get a clear understanding related to mac mini sata.
I did ask my local mac shop, how much they charge for an SSD, they charge double price, i simply refuse to pay much, since i can go to a pc shop to buy a Kingston or Samsung 512gb SSD for a fair price. The mac shop i went to, is charging like **** to put in a SSD! I think i will do it myself. When i decided to replace the 2gb ram which came with my mac mini, i did go to a pc store to buy a mac compatible ram, i bought 16gb ram really cheap and installed it, wow my mac mini now, is fast like ****! Keep one thing in mind. If you're going to replace the 500GB HDD that's in your Mini now with an SSD, make sure you install it in the lower bay (bay closest to the bottom of the unit).
*Some* SSD brands do not like using a 3rd party SATA cable. Samsung is one of those. They like to be hooked up to the Apple SATA cable (at least with my experience) which is the lower bay. Intel doesn't matter and I don't know about Crucial as I replaced a Samsung 840 Pro 128GB (lower bay) with a Crucial M500 240GB.
I kept my 500GB HDD, moved it to the upper bay (closest to the top of the unit) and use it for storage. You can view the different drive bay orientations from this. The upper bay has to have all the 'guts' taken out to get to the drive bracket. I used the dual drive kit from iFixit.com which includes a SATA cable to use in the upper bay. They have excellent guides on how to add an SSD and their kits come with a nice tool kit. OWC (Macsales.com) also has excellent video guides along with dual drive kits. You will see a HUGH performance increase with an SSD drive.
The larger the drive storage capacity, the faster. My Crucial 240GB SSD is much faster than the Samsung 840 Pro 128GB.
Boot times are cut in half or more and apps load quickly. Forget about Samsung, i just thought Samsung SSD was the best for mac, since Apple did put Samsung ram inside the mac mini! If Crucial SSD is more compatible then thats the one i would like to have. May i ask how much you paid for your SSD? I found one mac dealer in copenhagen (denmark), which charge a small amount to install a SSD)!
I just have to bring my mac mini and they will put in a new SSD (which i allso will bring with me!). I just have to find the perfect SSD that is compatible for mac mini 2011. Crucial M500 500gb should be fine?!
