Yes, the HD connection is SATA III (6.0 Gb/s). Right now the needed hardware and ribbon cable is not known, but someone has used the one of the older mini cables and has it working (so he claims) we have yet to verify with some else nor get the part info for the cable.

@BlackSpectre - please checkout the OWC or ifixit Mac mini dual kits. Or something such as http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00KIIN7IG...

It's the same cable. I'm getting riduclous speeds because of the Fusion combo I used. 256gb PCIe SSD with 750GB 7200rpm hdd.
