Bernie, this is kind of a cop-out answer, but I have had very limited experience with Apple products. But from what I have been able to find of the specifications online, if your Mac Mini is pre-2014 this drive MAY be compatible. Model years 2014 and later use a PCIe connection, which, in general, it means they use a hard drive that's similar to a RAM stick and apparently do not have drive bays for "hard drive" type SSD's. However, prior to 2014 the Mac Minis appear to have used mechanical hard drives, which means they have a regular drive bay and this drive MAY be compatible if they have/use SATA connections. Somewhere on your Mac Mini is an information label that tells the serial number, model, and other information (probably on the bottom or in the back). Your ironclad best bet is to check with Apple to see which type of drive and the type of connection(s) you have for internal hard drives. Sorry, wish I could have been more helpful.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Response to Slash2freeze - I forgot to look for the model #, but it says mid 2011, 2.3 mhz, i5. I could t figure out how to respond to your question. I hit the report button and nothing happened, so I hope I didn’t report you as a negative. Thanks for your help, Bernie.
