Mac mini (Mid 2011)
I installed a 240 GB SSD as my boot drive and a 750 GB platter drive in the second bay a few years ago. Has been running flawlessly. I was thinking of bumping up the SSD to more like a 500 GB or larger but when I initially installed this current config I did so because it was apparently "all this machine could handle." I didn't know if that was a power draw thing or what, but maybe current gen SSDs are more power conservative so actual size isn't an issue? Can anyone confirm or deny, can I use bigger SSDs? Can I use bigger platter drives too? Is a 1 TB SSD and a 1TB platter reasonable expectation or is this not possible? Thanks
