Adding a SSD to your existing 2012 Mac Mini

Want to turn your existing Mac Mini to a Fusion Drive Mac Mini? With a simple cable known as a Data Doubler, you can do so! I actually wanted to film a video to show the process of installing an SSD using a data doubler, but it turns out that the camera shuts off in the midst of filming, which I realised it at the end of my installation. However, there are tons of video on Youtube that shows you how to install an additional drive. Instead, I will talk about how your Mac Mini recognises it as a Fusion drive. Typically, the Fusion Drive Mac Mini configuration is available for you to choose during checkout at Apple's online store, which is only available to the high-end 2.3GHz quad-core i7 Mac Mini. Interestingly, when you install it to a low-end 2.5GHz dual-core i5 Mac Mini, the OS recognises two separate drives initially, but when you boot using Internet Recovery, they will specify that there is a problem with both of the drives, requesting you to reformat the drives, after which the two drives combine into a single volume, now known as a Fusion Drive. The build that I am currently using is the low end 2.5GHz dual-core i5 Mac Mini, with an additional 128GB Samsung 840 series SSD and the existing 5400rpm 500GB HD. The computer shows it as 620 GB Fusion Drive.
