- allwein 15y agoI'd agree with this for the RAM, but the HDD on the Mini is incredibly hard to access for upgrading. Check out the teardown from iFixit for the last model.

- maguay 15y agoSo would you go for the faster HDD by default? That's what I'm leaning towards...
- maxharris 15y agoCheck out the teardown from iFixit for the last model. I just did, and there are only four steps: 1. Twist the plastic base, and it comes off: no screws. 2. Remove the fan: three screws. 3. Remove the Wi-Fi antenna plate: four T8 Torx screws. 4. Remove the hard drive: two screws. Are we looking at the same guide? http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Mac-Mini-Mid-2011-Teardown/6131/1 http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Mac-Mini-Mid-2011-Teardown/61...
