It is a tedious task! I agree it would be simpler/better to use TDM to
another Mac mini, but we don't have money in the budget for that

The really tricky part of it is you want the SSD in the upper bay. This
involves a complete tear down of the mini to its component parts. If you

We have a server Mac mini[1] running OS X 10.6.8 Server as our office mail
server, and I need to replace the old internal 1 TB HDD with a new 250GB SDD.
The internal HDD has two 500GB partitions, but only the 1st partition is used,
and only 70 GB at that.
Does this plan sound reasonable:

Hmm. I mentioned CCC and SD to higher-ups and was told that Disk Utility's
Restore function does the same thing.
Under Disk Utility's Restore tab it says: To copy or restore a disk image to a

Yes, Disk Utility's Restore does a fine job of copying volumes. Copying from
the booted drive is never guaranteed. It usually works, but not always. If
