Sintech M.2 NGFF NVMe SSD Card for Upgrade Mac Mini Late 2014 Year A1347 MEG Series(Only for late 2014 Year,not fit Other year)

Got this item, plugged it in and it worked.

The Sintech M.2 NGFF NVMe SSD Card is great quality adapter, that was easy to install. The best thing about this adapter is the included screw and screwdriver. The screw does a good job of holding the SSD in place. This fit nicely in a Mac Mini, took minutes to install.

If you have a 2014 Mac Mini with a mechanical SATA 5400 HD, you should upgrade to an NVME SSD using this adapter. My Mac Mini was about done for, it was so slow. This gave it new life.

My installation was a bit more complicated as I had a 1TB fusion drive with bad HDD. I had to buy a tool kit and gut the entire Mac Mini and remove both drives from the drive bay. In fact the built in SSD portion had to be sliced out with a razor blade. The new M.2 holder fit perfectly on top of the empty drive bay. I added the new 500 GB M.2 drive and closed up the machine. From there you can boot to a screen called Internet Recovery, which operates independently of any hard drive. Internet Recovery allowed me to format the new M.2 drive and install Big Sur OS.

Tengo una Mac mini 2014 late que para muchos sería un equipo obsoleto pero con esto pude instalar un disco M2 y pude experimentar un cambio del cielo a la tierra en velocidad de procesamientos.

Good

I coupled this card with an inexpensive 500GB SSD. Installation was easy (no need to disassemble the Mac Mini--just remove the bottom and 6 screws that hold in the metal plate.). The NVMe SSD was recognized immediately upon boot up (OS X 10.13.6). The SSD makes an enormous difference in speed. Unlike many of the other SSD adapters for the 2014 Mac Mini, this one works with the less expensive standard NVMe SSD, not Apples proprietary SSD. A great choice for breathing new life into a 2014 Mac Mini.

Worked perfectly

I bought a 2014 Mac mini , but it came with the old mechanical HDD, it’s too slow , but with this one , it could upgrade to nvme SSD , bring the Mac mini runs so much faster , it’s really recommended to any one has the Same machine

This actually works exactly as advertised with the Late 2014 Mac Mini that has only an HHD or SSD. This adaptor allows instillation of a PCiE SSD as well and greatly improves performance of the machine. I thought going from disk to solid-state was a difference, but this upgrade makes an even greater improvement. Plus I saved some dollars by not having to buy an Apple blade drive but instead could purchase a standard one by Samsung or whoever.
