chenyang CY M.2 NGFF M-Key NVME SSD Convertor Card for 2014 Mini A1347 MEGEN2 MEGEM2 MEGEQ2

Apple throws Kext errors now for uncertified parts and adapters for non-proprietary M2 blades but this beats the ribbon and not being forced to buy overpriced Apple SSD's. There is a kext error when my Mac Mini goes to sleep and shuts it off but it's a inconvenience I can live with and NOT this company's fault. This with a name brand 1 TB SSD combined with the i7 3.0GHz 1TBHDD 16GB blows away the 2012 Mac mini's with this MOD. The Iris Graphics are far superior to the UHD 4000 in the 2012 and the bus speed, with the efficiency, now with a ssd based 2TB fusion drive you can create with this is the absolute BEST TB2 equipped Mac Mini available and makes up for not being a quad core in the end. Pointless to mod and invest unless you have a 16gb Ram Late 2014 as the Ram is soldered which is better if you have the 16GB.

Used this to replace the 256GB SSD that was tied to a 2TB HDD in Apple's "fusion drive" configuration. Installation was very simple and took less than 15 minutes. Just make sure you backup your internal storage to an external drive and have or buy a Torx T6 Security screwdriver (it must be the "Security" version) to remove the back plate. Now I have a 2TB SSD, which has greatly sped up my Mac Mini, and the old 2TB HDD is used solely for Time Machine backups. If you want to breath new life into your Mac Mini 2014 this is low cost and simple way to go.

Before purchasing this adapter, my 2014 Mac Mini (1.4Ghz i5 with 4GB RAM) was extremely slow. Combining this adapter with Western Digital's SN570 SSD breathed new life into that old computer. I can now actually use it without getting frustrated. Highly recommended.

I was skeptical of this due to seeing some mention around the web about trouble getting it to work. For me, it worked just fine. I installed on a Late 2014 Mac Mini, which already had a factory NVMe card (Apple's proprietary form factor) which I understand was used for the original "Fusion Drive" technology. I removed the factory card and adapter and dropped this one in place. I paired it with a brand new Crucial 4tb Gen 4 NVMe. Install was super easy. I booted the mini from a thumb drive with a Mac OS El Capitan installer on it, but it would NOT recognize the NVMe drive. So I tried booting from a thumb drive with Mac OS Mojave and it saw the NVMe just fine. I formatted it with disk utility and then installed a fresh OS on the new NVMe. The original internal HDD is still in there, but I formatted it as well and am using that for storage. I seem to be getting pretty good performance from the NVMe (and thus the adapter) -- seems much faster than the old HDD/Fusion setup, and is working quite well as a dedicated media server.

Allowed me to upgrade a 2014 Mac Mini to an Nvme drive and substantially speed it's performance up.

Easy to install once you get your Mac mini open with special torx tool. I was able to install NVME M.2. Got around 700+ Mbytes/sec transfer. I didn’t expect more than this because other folks has install similar NVME. I put installed Samsung 980 pro. It is probably over kill this old Mac mini.

Very easy to install, worked like it should.

Easy to install. Mount the ssd to the adapter. Then Mount adapter with installed ssd to mini.

I had an ageing (and huge), Mac Pro. I looked into replacing it with something more manageable. Having seen the prices £1k+ to £2k+ and as I wasn't planning a new moon landing or editing a Hollywood blockbuster I didn't need that level of power. So after finding a YouTube video showing how to update a Mac Mini with this adaptor, I purchased a second hand one with a 1Tb internal drive for £100. I already had an SSD lying around salvaged from a dead laptop that was being discarded in work. Following the installation of the SSD using this adaptor and installing a fresh copy of Monterey this previously slow defunct Mini suddenly kicked into life and outstripped the speeds of the Mac Pro.

Buon prodotto, abbastanza affidabile sinora. Al momento non abbiamo altro da aggiungere.

Works perfectly with 2014 Mac mini and existing mSATA drive.

Es un adaptador para poder hacerle upgrade a tu mac mini mod 2014, la instalacion es sencilla, hay varios video de youtube de como abrir la mac e instalar este adaptador, si ya has instalado partes a un celular o una PC no tendras ningun problema , yo lo uso con un WD Black SN 750 Nvme SSD 500 Gb Gen 4 como principal para arranque del iOS, funciona a la perfección, mejoró la velocidad de una forma significativa, el HDD que viene por defecto lo deje como almacenamiento secundario (1 tb), yo decidí clonar el SSD por que el equipo era nuevo.

Excelente adaptador para M.2 Nvm ! Quedo a la primera! Super velocidad renovo el equipo ! Solo hay que tener un par de tornillos ya que el que llego es de cabeza pequeña y requiere 2.
