Mercury Extreme® Pro 6G SSD and Data Doubler

Everything You Need

Add a second drive to your Mac

Use the OWC Data doubler to install a blazing fast OWC 6G SSD inside your 2011 or later Mac mini. This DIY kit includes all the tools necessary to complete the installation of the Data Doubler and the new drive. Coupled with our free installation videos that offer step-by-step instructions, you can perform the entire upgrade on your own.

Bigger, better, and stronger

The Mac mini is already an amazing feat of engineering, and you can pack even more power inside it with the OWC Data Doubler and an OWC 6G SSD. An OWC SSD is simply the best way to expand capability of your already powerful mini, and even better, you can do it yourself!

High-performance storage

Faster startup and quick response times with over 500MB/s peak sustained data rates, our 6G SSD line delivers unbeatable performance with 100X greater data protection than enterprise class Hard Disk Drives, and RAISE technology for RAID like data protection and reliability. And it's backed by our amazing OWC SSD Limited Warranty.

The Right tools for the job

With the 5-piece Toolkit from OWC, everything is included to complete the installation of the SSD. Once the upgrade is complete, you'll have a handy set of tools for future computer upgrades.

While OWC encourages the DIY philosophy, this is a challenging install that requires advanced skills. If, after watching the how-to video, you are not fully confident of your ability to perform the installation, you can choose to have OWC "Do It For You" via our Apple Mac mini Installation Service. OWC assumes no responsibility for damage that may occur during the install.

1GB = 1,000,000,000 bytes. Total accessible capacity varies depending upon operating environment (typically 5-10% less). The actual total capacity will depend on your own defined file settings/preferences.
In terms of standard gigabytes, 1GiB ≈ 1.074GB and refers to the actual formatted capacity of shown under Mac OS 10.5 or earlier and Microsoft Windows OS.
Specific application environments such as temperature and duty cycle will affect the overall reliability.
Temperature reporting is currently an unsupported feature because due to the operating characteristics of SSDs, it is highly unlikely one would ever exceed an OWC Mercury SSD's stated operating temperature ceiling of 158F/70C. However, we are looking into supporting this feature in the future via a firmware update. Firmware updates can be found here: http://eshop.macsales.com/tech_center/OWC/SSD.

* A small number of 2012 units were shipped with the drive mounted in the upper drive bay rather than the more typical lower bay shown in this video. If you have a 2012 or later model, you will want to determine the configuration of your Mac mini's drives prior to ordering. To do this, open Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility.app and click on the grey drive icon at the left-edge of the window. If you see "Lower" after the "Connection ID" at the bottom-left corner of the window, you may proceed using the standard installation instructions. If you see "Upper" then you have a special configuration which will need additional components, and you will need to also refer to the addendum video.

Rating: 5/5 Quicker boot July 12, 2018 I was looking for improvement in my Mac mini performance and I knew disk is one of the aspects. I bought this kit to improve boot times with memory upgrade as well and the performance increase was easily noticed. The videos online and the manual that came with the kit explains step-by-step how to upgrade the computer, with disassemble and assemble instruction. The task isn't easy, but reading carefully and watching the videos, anyone with experience with hardware can do this upgrade.

I would recommend this item to a friend! This review is from DIY Kit: 480GB OWC Mercury Extreme Pro 6G SSD and Data Doubler.. Customer Videos:
