  • Use the Mac mini Terabyte Upgrade Guide instead of this First Look to make any modifications to your mini.

  • Next, disconnect the small black two-wire connector from the interconnect board and move it out of the way.

  • Remove the four Phillips screws securing the hard drive to the internal frame.

  • The hard drive easily slides out once it is detached from the interconnect board.

  • The hard drive is a paltry 120 GB. If you'd like to hold more than six photographs on your computer, you can upgrade to a 500 GB drive for just $130 and a little time.

  • Apple only allows you to customize the mini with a 320 GB drive, and they want a whopping $175!
