Get more storage when you upgrade or replace the existing 2.5" drive in your Mac mini

The Drive and Tools you need to upgrade or replace the existing 2.5" Drive in your 2014 or later Mac mini. Plus, make the drive being replaced an external for data transfer, backup, and/or additional portable storage.

Examples of how this bus-powered Express bundle can be used in real world situations:

  • Relocate your "home folder" to your Express and have your files with you at home, at work or on the road without the need to synchronize your machines.
  • Clone your current internal SATA hard drive in your laptop to the new drive. Then install the new, larger drive in your laptop and keep the smaller drive in your Express for additional storage space.
  • Keep a copy of your iTunes library on your external drive to play on multiple machines.
  • Have the piece of mind of a complete backup plan. Create a bootable clone of your hard drive at regular intervals so if your computer goes down, your productivity doesn't go down with it. Boot to another computer and keep on working!
