"...an awesome little kit."
— Andrew Kunesh, techie buzz
"By doing the installation yourself, you not only save some money, you also have the original hard drive, which you can then install into an appropriate housing to use it as an external drive."
— Thomas Armbruster, MacWelt
"With the help of OWC's Data Doubler kit, we increased the internal storage by a factor of six."
— Rob-Art Morgan, Bare Feats
"We were amazed by how easy it was for someone who has never ever pulled apart a computer before."
— Davin Lim, Macworld Australian
"What a difference the SSD makes when it's added to the Mac Mini ... well worth the time .... copying items is definitely faster ..."
— Russ Walkowich, Mymac.com


The kit was complete, tools and all, and the instructions were totally clear and understandable. The bonus USB 3 interference shield has also done its job well.
I could not be happier with the product and the service. I continue to return whenever I need parts.
I would recommend this item to a friend! This review is from DIY Kit: Data Doubler + 1.0TB Electra 6G SSD Bundle for Mac mini 2011 and 2012 models.. Customer Videos:As an added bonus, I was very pleased to discover that OWC included the copper-foil tape needed to minimize USB 3 interference with Bluetooth on late 2012 Mac minis at no additional charge!
I would recommend this item to a friend! This review is from OWC 'Data Doubler' 2.5" Hard Drive/SSD Installation Kit for Mac mini 2011 - 2012 models.. Customer Videos:I did experience some odd hangs with the SSD in the secondary position, but that was resolved when I put it in the original drive place (maybe? not sure if that was coincidental, but since I read about similar issues online, when I put in the new drive I went ahead and switched it).
Startup is not shockingly fast as are application launches. Very impressed... though it makes me wonder what would happen if I upgraded from my mini....
I'm primarily using the mini for audio recording using Digital Performer, so some heavy lifting, therefore any speed help I can get is useful.

I would recommend this item to a friend! This review is from OWC 'Data Doubler' 2.5" Hard Drive/SSD Installation Kit for Mac mini 2011 - 2012 models..One does not have to be a professional but pretty experienced, there are simple step by step instructions (with photos) on how to disassemble your Mac Mini, install it and – YES – the instructions take you step by step on putting it BACK TOGETHER as well. That is unusual, so this is a great feature by OWC. However there are steps that might need a bit of twerking, creative thinking and lots and lots of patience.
You will need to take the Mac Mini apart to the last piece. Which is so much fun! :)
This product is just great. Who would have known Apple actually designed the Mac Mini to fit two drives in the first place. All you need is the extra cable (included), tools (included) and some rubber and screws (included). And the drive of course.
I took an extra step: MOVED the original spinning drive to the second place, and installed a NEW SSD as the first disk. I think OWC should have this in their instructions as an extra optional sidestep. And there are some small steps that could have more detailed images and tips. Perhaps it comes in an updated manual :)
For Swedes: NO moms or taxes was added on my import :)
I would recommend this item to a friend! This review is from OWC 'Data Doubler' 2.5" Hard Drive/SSD Installation Kit for Mac mini 2011 - 2012 models..It was perfect! I followed all the instructions and changed my old Mac MIni 500GB HD for a 2TB drive and a 120GB Flash drive.. it all went great and in less than 1 hour I was working with the new 2 HD MacMini.
Would highly recomend this product to anyone looking to upgrade their Mini.
