I was *just* telling the wife that I need to replace my craptastic mini-
driver set with something higher-quality.
Would be very interested to see what you think when

Yeah, at this point, I don't have need of a second drive in there
either. My only point is having to go into the machine twice is twice
the opportunity to screw it up.
I just figure having someone else clean up my mess will cost me less if
I combine all of my mistakes into one operation.

The day I got a Mac mini I started looking at upgrade options. I found a
place called ifixit.com that has a lot of guides tutorials.
Replacing the hard-drive on the Mac mini looks to be a real bear. If I
was going to attempt it, I'd want to go ahead and add the second drive
at the same time so
Good looking set of tools, Cotty. I probably would have been successful doing
the swap myself if I had decent tools. I used the ones that came with the
two-drive adaptation kit, and that just didn't work. I've already sent it back
for a refund.

ifixit.com is great. I've used them a lot.
As I wrote to Charles, I didn't see the point of putting another drive into the
machine in the end and revised my original plan. Plenty of disk space free and
all my photo data is on external drives anyway, both for safety and for best
performance.
Ok all this talk got me off my keister and down to Fry's. My 5.2 mac mini main
drive was down to 160gb so I picked up a Seagate 1tb sshd drive. The swap has
been done and my old drive is now being restored to the new one. Only 4 more
hours of waiting. Hopefully the extra room and faster
Finally had time to install the Crucial 960G SSD that was my Xmas gift last
December into my Mac mini (late-2012 series, 2.6Ghz i7 Quad, with 16G RAM). The
saga of the installation is a long and somewhat costly bit of entertainment but
would certainly go way off-topic, but in the end I decided
Thank you for the thorough discussion/review. This goes in my file for the next
time I work my way through system upgrade options.

Godders,
For those of us stingier and more cautious, would there be a
performance boost putting LR, the catalog, the cache, or some
combination on an SSD?

Stingier … sure … but more cautious? I'm not sure I get that.
