| Use this guide to replace the SSD in your Mac mini (2024). | | | This guide was written with a baseline M4 Mac mini. Although the SSD for the M4 Pro version is longer and in a different position, the disassembly procedure is the same. | | While the Mac mini's SSD looks like a normal M.2 SSD, [link|https://www.ifixit.com/News/105220/could-you-hack-a-new-mac-mini-ssd|its lacks a storage controller|new_window=true]. Apple integrates the storage controllers into the Apple Silicon SoC, which means that ***normal SSDs are incompatible***. Apple's unique SSDs aren't sold by Apple and aren't currently available by a third party. | | | This guide is purely instructional for how to replace the SSD with another of the same type—it doesn't instruct on how to create Apple's proprietary SSDs. |
