An AFFORDABLE MEMORY upgrade for MAC MINI!

I recently purchased my 2nd Mac Mini M4, the baseline one,(for a 2nd location for me to do online work as I spend many days away from my home office assisting a family member in need of round-the-clock home care).
Last November 2024 I purchased my first M4 to upgrade my home office.
Because I already had a double monitor setup in my home office I was able to trade in my older M2 Mac Mini for an M4, and with the trade-in I made the upgrade... but then something else happened.
I have to share in the care and support an elder family member away from my home, but I also still need to work and I'm taking online classes.
Because I REALLY prefer a desktop over a laptop or tablet for learning or business purposes, and because of my use of tools like AI and spreadsheets, 2 or more monitors work well for me.
I added an extension hub that allowed me to add this "Crucial - P3 Plus 2 TERABYTE internal SSD addition for storage.
This is the affordable method to add so MUCH additional memory. I also appreciated the help of the GEEK SQUAD at the Best Buy store to sit down and just put it together the right way!
Rasheed instantly knew what adjustment was required for use in a MAC (vs a PC). His knowledge likely saved me from either returning it or taking hours figuring out what I was looking for to make this work with an APPLE product vs it's design for a PC.
I hope and pray these physical BRICK AND MORTAR stores never go away. It's such a great help having smart staff members available willing to help you get these things to successfully work.
There is far too much DO IT YOURSELF occurring. On a related note I'm trying to change internet providers but the new company offers NO real assistance. I may cancel that and send the equipment back.
I'm considered somewhat TECH SAVVY but things are constantly changing in the tech world. Having IN PERSON assistance via BEST BUY is something I value very much.
I hope that it continues.
What I also missed (trying first to do it myself) was the "SNAP" when this 2TB unit was added to my expansion hub and thankfully Rasheed at best Buy knew exactly what to do!!
WOW!
It really is a cost-effective way to boost the storage of a Mac Mini.
I was able to utilize an older 24-inch Insignia Fire TV plus a 19-inch Insignia "dumb" TV - which I was going to discard - to use with the Mac Mini as dual monitors at my 2nd location.

Works great. Installed this on my highest end PC Build and haven't had a single problem. Installed Windows quickly and didn't have any problems. Games run smooth and saved install quickly. Got it on sale with Mybestbuy membership paid itself after this buy savings. A lot cheaper than the Samsung pro everyone gets and for no major difference, I personally think that a WIN. I don't notice a difference in speed which is the only difference out the box. Definitely would recommend to buy this one and save that extra cash for cooling fans, better graphics card, or other useful components in your PC. Easy install. Same as the Samsung pro.

I was having issues with the drives I had installed on my B550 mobo. I had a wd black sn750 1tb as my main drive and a Samsung 970 evo plus 1tb as my secondary. I play a good amount of games that take on a lot of storage. COD, RE Series, From Software games eg. I believe the wear and tear took its toll, I needed to upgrade.
I researched Crucial's products and did find a lot of helpful reviews. My mobo supports gen4 ssds so getting the p3 plus was definitely an upgrade. I recommend these drives, pretty fast read and write speeds.

Great product! I used it to upgrade the storage in my Lenovo yoga 920 laptop rather than upgrading to a whole new laptop which saved me a lot of money. There's a very small, but noticeable, difference in overall speed when I'm doing high performance activities such as video editing, however I do have ≈8 times more storage now, which is definitely been very nice! Overall, I would definitely recommend this product.

If you're looking for a good quality 4x4 M.2 drive for simple storage, this is a solid choice. There are faster, higher performing drives out there, but they cost more. I wish Crucial would add encryption to this drive, as well as the P310, and it is why I did not give it 5 stars overall.

Baller hard drive for my battletoads gamer PC

Pretty baller hard drive man, I use it in my sweet battle station desktop with 3 monitors to play battletoads. It loads my 4k moded fallout 4 faster than the snail that is trying to kill me moves, which isn’t saying much as it is a snail, but that’s because fallout 4 with mods takes a while to load, which isn’t the hard drive’s fault. Overall, I’d give it a 9 out of 10, it has a little something for everyone and really makes you feel like Spider-Man.

It truly does fit the price/ performance point. While it is not as fast as the 500 gig drive that came in the Predator it is quite a bit faster than a 3x Western Digital Black 1 TB that I just threw in for testing. I am satisfied. The left photo is this 2 TB drive and the right photo is the 500gb Micron drive that came in the laptop. For 2TB of storage at $130 out the door, It's a great deal.
