What kind of performance gains can I expect compared to the original 256GB SSD?

You can expect significantly higher data transfer speeds (both reading and writing), which means faster application loading, quicker boot times, and overall improved system responsiveness. Additionally, our 2TB model will have significantly higher speed than the base model.

Can I expect the M4 Mac Mini Expand Card to match Apple’s SSD speed and performance?

Absolutely! We prioritize providing the same, and often even better, speed as Apple’s original storage. We use the same high-quality NAND memory chips, and we conduct rigorous testing to guarantee identical (if not superior) performance levels. You’ll notice no difference in speed for your day-to-day tasks.

Do I need a second Mac to install the SSD in my Mac Mini M4?

You will need access to a second computer to install a new SSD in your Mac Mini M4, but you have two options: Option 1: Using another Mac: If you have access to another Mac (any model from 2015 or later), you can: - Connect your Mac Mini to the second Mac using a USB-C cable - Use DFU (Device Firmware Update) mode to restore the operating system to your Mac Mini - Complete the installation process directly Option 2: Using a Windows PC If you only have a Windows PC available, you can still complete the installation by: - Setting up a macOS virtual machine using VMware on your Windows PC - Using the virtual machine to perform the same restoration process - For a detailed walkthrough of this method, we recommend watching this tutorial: How to Install macOS on VMware for Mac Mini SSD Installation The second computer is necessary because your new SSD will be blank with no operating system. Your Mac Mini will need to be put into recovery mode and restored using another device that can run the Mac recovery tools.

Is 2TB really enough for me?

If you’re dealing with large media files, pro apps, or gaming libraries, 2TB is a major relief over 256GB. You can always upgrade again in the future if needed.

Will it truly match Apple’s speed?

Yes. We use the same SSD chips and thorough testing to confirm identical performance to Apple’s official drive.

Will this void my Mac Mini’s warranty?

Typically not. As mentioned, simply return your Mac to its original state (swap the stock card back) if you ever need Apple service.
