If I have a Mac Mini without SSD, only with normal Hard Drive (NO Fusion). Can I install a new one SSD like on this tutorial?. Thanks!

Si, yo lo hice y la diferencia es abismal. Necesitaras un adaptador y por supuesto el SSD. Yes, I did it and the difference is abysmal. You will need an adapter and of course the SSD.

Yes, but you need to add a cable to connect it. If you buy the SSD from OWC, they sell a kit which includes the cable and tools (for an extra $20-40, depending on what size/model SSD you get).
