vorrei sapere se esiste il kit per l'installazione di un HD SSD aggiuntivo per questo modello; ho visto che per il modello 2011 esiste.

Grazie

La mia domanda quindi è quasi retorica.

Esiste la possibilità di fare l’incremento di memoria anche rivolgendosi a qualche centro assistenza?

Vi ringrazio e saluto

Io alludevo all'incremento della memoria di sistema del MAC MINI 2014.

ho un problema. Ho un mac mini late 2014 ed ho installato un ssd.

Fin’ora l’ho usato solo per navigare e vedere qualcosa e non ho mai avuto problemi.

Adesso invece, dato che lo sto utilizzando in maniera più intensiva, ho notato che la ventola rimane fissa a 1800rpm (tramite istat).

È andato in crash un paio di volte per la temperatura troppo elevata, probabilmente colpa di Plex Media Server che con il transcoding sollecita molto la CPU.

Potete darmi qualche consiglio su come muovermi per capire meglio come ovviare a questo problema?

Grazie a tutti.

La domanda vera e propria sarebbe, quale KIT dovrei acquistare? non sono pratico e non ci capisco molto ed ho paura di acquistare quello sbagliato, con questo eventuale Kit potrei aggiungere a piacere sia un SSD o un HD meccanico giusto?

Grazie mille!!!!!

Una volta rimontato il mac non da più segni di vita. La ventola gira piano per 1 secondo e poi si ferma.

Qualcuno mi saprebbe aiutare?

Grazie

The internet has been strangely silent on this topic. I haven't been able to find anything definitive from either iFixit or OWC, which are usually all over upgrades like these.

Machine was working fine. I took it apart using the guide here to install a larger SSD, it went smooth as butter. Put it back together and powered it on using a bootable High Sierra Jump Drive, It took longer than usual sitting on a black screen but it did come up. It got stuck on the Apple screen for quite a while. I pulled power.

Now ANY time I plug it in it just keeps giving me the power chime over and over and nothing on the screen.

I even try it without a hard drive plugged in and does the same thing.

SMC Reset does nothing.

Any advise? Thanks

UPDATE: The caps lock light does cycle and mouse does light up

Left machine unplugged all weekend. Came to work Monday morning and plugged it in. It sent power to the usb ports and the fan spins like usual - but I get no power on chime. There is nothing on the HDMI output. I let it sit for 30 mins and it did nothing. (at this point I put the old hard drive back in with a proper OS installed, so it should boot up and run). After 30 mins I pulled power for 30 seconds and plugged it back in and its back to the same chime / reboot loop. Any help would be great. Thanks

Would this device boot even if it could not see a hard drive of any kind? Perhaps I damaged the sata flex cable.

Now the startup chime has some distortion to it. Off

With this device, Should it power on automatically when I plug power in?

Update: The startup chime is clear as a bell WHEN THE WIFI CARD IS INSTALLED. Any time the wifi card is not installed it gets scratchy and distorted.

I think this logic board needs a exorcism!!

MAKING HEAD WAY! THE USB DRIVE I BOOTED FROM WAS A CLOVER DRIVE, I THINK IT CORRUPTED THE “ME REGION”

I have a Mac mini Late 2014, it works fine when im using it but cannot update OS not install new one, each time I try to do it, it comes with up error and points to running diagnostics due to a hardware fault. Ran diagnostics and came back with PPM002 error pointing to an issue with memory module (crappy onboard on this version of Mac mini so can't replace). However when I Run a memory test software like Rember (I've tried a couple of others too) all memory tests come back with no issues. I've attached pics of the diagnostics screen as well as the memory tests.

Any help is appreciated.

I have two old PCs and one of them is a MacMini Late 2014 edition (without the SSD). I am trying to start a project to build a home server. I am not a pro here so if there are any critical steps missing let me know, but here is my plan:

1. Install the SSD Flex Cable Adapter along with a NGFF M.2 NVMe SSD Adapter. Both of those products should be compatible according to my research.
2. Attach a NVMe to 5 Port SATA Adapter to the new M.2 slot.
3. Do some DIY enclosure modifications...I'll probably just drill a hole in it for the cables or something.
4. Power the drives with an external power supply.
5. Flash and run TrueNAS on the MacMini

I'm just unsure if the MacMini will recognize the 5 dives connected to that SATA adapter. I'm also unsure of how big of a bottleneck all of those adapters chained together will be in terms of speed if it can recognize all 5 drives.

If anyone can shed some light on this idea for me I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks!

Would like to check if a Samsung M.2 PCIe SSD (MZHPV256HDGL) might work on my Mini.

Have been told that with an adapter for the Flex Cable identified as 821-00010-A and all should work perfectly, but it doesn't!

The Mini doesn't even detects the drive! Verified thru the System Information tool, Disk Utility, etc.

Thanks in advance to the community!

Hello, we’re in July 2023, and despite @danj or @mayer awful comments/recommendations, my custom configuration still works like the first day 💪 💪 💪

I strongly recommend buying the specific adapter (Flex Cable identified as 821-00010-A), and any PCIe SSD with respective connector, to boost & upgrade your 2014 Mini.

Regards!!

The zero-to-max rpm cycle can repeat 2-4 times. This phenomenon is increasing in frequency. I’ve been monitoring the internal temps and fan speed via Macs Fan and I’ve seen high temps when this occurs, it’s possible that I’m not seeing all instances of the problem and just notice the fan is off when I hear it revv up. Today I shut down and reset the NVRAM and SCM and the problem started again about an hour after restart. Only app open was Chrome to stream a radio station.

What might be happening?
