To run trimforce, open a Terminal window and type the following command: sudo trimforce enable - this will result in some warnings but after you accept it will perform the command and reboot the machine.Įnd result? The machine is running just great with no problems. Hi all, I hope this thread is still being read.

I recently bought a Mac mini late 2012 (server model I think) and then bought a Samsung evo 850 ssd to install. When i I make a clone of my original hdd on to the ssd through a sata/USB connector when it is external to the machine, do I need to do anything else after installing the ssd iinternally? From what I've read, when you make install the OS on the ssd, you then boot with that ssd and choose it as the primary drive and then install it. Obviously the sata connection will be direct to the Mobo so will this affect the boot at all?Īlso, have there been any problems with any Yosemite or El Capitan that one should warn about? I've read that if you are installing the ssd as a second drive in the mini, there are some things you have to be careful of, but after much deliberation I have decided to replace the hdd and use it as an external drive for back ups. Intel Core Duo, Core 2 Duo, i5, and i7 (previously).The Mac Mini (stylized as Mac mini) is a small form-factor desktop computer developed and marketed by Apple Inc, positioned between the consumer all-in-one iMac and the professional Mac Pro as one of the three current Macintosh desktop computers. It was the company's only consumer desktop computer since 2005 to ship without a display, a keyboard, and a mouse. The machine was initially branded it as BYODKM (Bring Your Own Display, Keyboard, and Mouse), as a deliberate strategic process to pitch users to switch from PC running other operating systems such as Microsoft Windows and Linux.
