Would this be compatible with my mid-2011 Mac Mini? How difficult is it to install? Any additional equipment needed?

Yes, works perfectly. No additional equipment needed for the drive itself, but for data transfer from your existing hard drive you'll need a dock or drive case. The startech.com dock works great but I'm sure there are other options which might be cheaper.

i am not sure with the space of the Mac Mini, but this fits perfectly in a 2.5 inch design space.. check out in google, "Installing Mac Mini Mid 2011 Dual Hard Drive Kit - iFixit" it show you how to install another HD on it..

Can't speak to your exact model of mac-mini or OS version, but I burned a 50Gb blu-ray data disk from a 2.6 i7 mini running mountain lion without any special installation.

Yep, that's how I have mine setup on mac mini, this 8 + stock 2. Go for it.

Hi, please... i want to know if this Crucial MX 100 512gb hard drive is compatible to my MINI MAC 2011 and if my system OS Yosemite recognize both hard drivers automatically. Thanks for help me.

Michelle, I would assume so. They have drivers for it and it's in the quick setup documentation. But I don't have a mac.

Yes I think it will. Check the specks of the Mac mini, if it says it has ddr3 memory then this will work

Yes. I have. Mac Mini (2012) as well and I installed this Crucial 16GB kit. It works great.

I bought this for my Dad, who has a mac mini. It was certainly not the easiest thing to install. We did have to download (from the 'net) a driver for this to work. So, no, you don't need a CD drive, but you DO need the internet

I have it and it works fine with late 2011 MacBook Pro. There is no software to install, it is built in the Mac )S 10.6 and later, hot swaps fine,come USB power card to power external bus hard drives. This was only of four different cards I tried, this the only chip set that is support by Mac OS Fresco Logic Chipset FL1100, all the others you had install drivers and had restart computer every time to remount the cards and they constantly dropped the connection. The only drawback is the long shipping time two to four weeks.

It should work fine. I used it in a Mac Mini Late 2012. Just connect it first with a USB adapter and format and copy your system to it then change out the drive. I used Carbon Copy program - it is great because it also makes the recovery partition on the new SSD.

We use ours with the Mac mini. One of the keys sticks so it's kind of cheap but it does the job.

It works on my Mac mini from around 2006 (Snow Leopard). The track pad doesn't work anymore. But the keypad part works fine.

I have Mt Lion, I am not sure if there are any issues with previous OS's.. I can't imagine it being a problem, especially if you're using it as a sole hard drive.. I have the stock 1TB hdd as a secondary internal in my 2012 Mac mini, and if you pay attention to the OWC instructions on setup, it works like a dream. I can only imagine hardware not being compatible if anything. I really don't know 100%, but I assume you will be safe

Hi, Luiz,Indeed! I just bought a Mac Mini to serve as a stand alone box for my Protools HD rig, and I plugged this keyboard into the USB 3.0 port and it works like a champion. FYI...in situations where you're not sure if the USB is compatible, it's useful to remember that you can plug a lower number USB (2.0 for example) into a higher USB (3.0), but you can't go the other way. Otherwise, you're good to go here. Enjoy the extended keyboard with the two extra USB ports on the sides in your new Mac. Cheers!

All that matters is how your connecting it. If I know my macs, you either have a Mini-DVI or MiniDisplay Port port. Regardless of which, you'll need an adapter to get the output to be DVI or HDMI, depending on the monitor your buying. Once you have the correct wires, it should work great. The only caveat I can think of is the graphics card inside your mini. Unless you have a really old mac, it should be able to output to the monitor's native resolution.

We use this with a 2012 macbook pro that has an intel HD 4000 graphics card (same as the latest mac mini's) and it works fine. I believe you would only have issues if you tried to use it in conjunction with a second monitor. As a solo monitor it should be fine. You will however probably want a mini display port to display port adapter cable. That has worked well for us.

I have this on a Mac Mini running Mavericks and it works great. You definitely need a powered USB hub with the Mac. I have three USB hubs on my Mac Mini and this one works the best by far.
