It involves the complete disassembly of the unit and removing the motherboard from the case. Here is a link to the rear down from https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=i1gFhTuFjHE
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It is more involved than other models, but it can be done. You can find many videos on the internet which details the process. The real question to ask is “If you add RAM on your own does it impact the apple warranty?” I’m betting it does.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Apple has put a halt on this common practice. As of a few years ago, Consumers CAN NO LONGER upgrade their Apple Computers (Mac Mins, Macbook Pros). Ram and SSD storage are now soldered on the motherboard. I believe only the high end machines still have that option. But you'll be spending around $10,000 for such a machine.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It can be done easily with the proper tools and a little patients.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I did review online videos on this matter and decided not to risk my investment by trying it. Others may be braver. However this is a very compact device, tightly integrated and though I felt confident I had good skill, I decided just buying a compatible thunderbolt drive made more sense. Having since used a LaCie I find it hard to notice any speed difference between it and the mini's native storage. Of course Apple only lists one compatible drive, a very expensive LaCie, but far less expensive are available elsewhere. Just be sure to get one truly compatible with the min's late version of thunderbolt!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It kinda is if your not good with hardware
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It can be done easily for an experienced user. I’d see if the geek squad can do it for you in store.
