My 2nd option would be to make a full time-machine backup of the HDD, install the SDD and then restore the backup onto the SSD.Īlso, I am still confused on whether or not I should enable TRIM. Now as far as formatting the SSD and re-installing Yosemite, what would be the best practice? I was thinking about just cloning the HDD information to the SSD so that it is a true copy and none of my data is lost, and then just format the HDD as a blank storage drive. Will this SSD work and do I have to worry about TRIM with this? Personally, I'm looking at the Samsung 840 EVO 250GB 2.5-Inch SATA III as that is the same one that I have installed in my Windows machine and I am in LOVE with it. So my question is this.what SSD's have others installed into their Mac Minis?

The part I am stuck on is WHICH SSD to install?įrom what I've been able to figure out, any SSD will do but I might run into a problem with TRIM? I understand that this can play a big part in which SSD I get for my Mac Mini.
