BestParts M.2 NGFF M-Key NVME SSD Convertor Card Replacement for Mac Mini Late 2014 A1347 MEGEN2 MEGEM2 MEGEQ2

Worked as expected.This board is specifically for installing an NVMe SSD card into a Mac Mini 2014.This installation is much easier than trying to remove and replace the existing drive.

I bought a used 2014 Mac Mini and needed to upgrade the storage on it. Normally I would need to take it completely apart and put a 2.5" SSD in, but with this little adapter, I was able to pop the bottom of the MM off and connect a much faster NVMe drive to it without full disassembly! Well worth the money and I would recommend this device to others. I've been using it for about 4 months now with no problems.

Relatively easy to install (It's much easier than taking everything out to replace the SATA drive) but it seams like the SATA connection is faster than this one. For anyone embarking on this upgrade use this as the 2nd drive and an updated SSD in the SATA port for the OS. That will make it feel like a brand new computer. Even with the OS on this drive this 2014 mac mini is very snappy now in late 2024.

Exactly as described, fits perfect in Mac mini late 2014. Working great! I recommend the seller. Thanks a lot

As the title of my review says, I needed to install MacOS Monterey (older MacOS might have also worked, at least to High Sierra) while it was in an External Enclosure, before my new Crucial 1TB SSD was recognized internally in the Mac Mini (2014) with this Adapter. I had first tried to just format my new Crucial 1TB SSD (properly) in an external enclosure, and then install the OS (in Recovery Mode) once both were in the Mac Mini, but the disk wasn’t recognized by Disk Utility. I also tried an already formatted Samsung SSD to rule out the Crucial SSD being the problem rather than this adapter. As a last resort (before trying a Sintech adapter instead) I decided to install the MacOS externally, then install it in the Mac Mini with this adapter. I also reset the PRAM during 1st startup (which may actually have been the “crucial” step:’). I don’t know why this was the case, but it was for me.

Great deal for mac mini upgrade but had issues with a couple of 512GB 3.3v 2.8A NVMe.The system would crash after formatting the drive, so no installation was completed. I prepared the drive in an external case, and loaded the OS, but when the drive was reinstalled in the system it would crash a few minutes after the OS loaded and kept boot looping.I replaced the drive with 512GB 3.3v 1.4A NVMe and tested with a few 3.3v 1.2A and it worked fine.This upgrade speeds up the boot time for the mac mini a lot. Thanks.

This was simple to install and worked out of the box. I used it to upgrade a 2014 Mac Mini that had an HDD. This adapter is way way simpler than replacing the HDD, which requires taking apart the entire computer. Now I just use the HDD for time machine backups.

Put this into my I7 2014 Mac Mini. Mine came stock with a drive already in the slot on top, but it was an M2 SATA drive. It had the factory installed adapter in place which I chose to completely remove in-tact in case I needed to revert to it if the drive I bought ever failed. Black magic speed tests on the factory were about 400-450 MB/s. It was also 256gb which to me was too small as I planned on installing Windows 10/11 on a bootcamp partition. I chose the Samsung 970 EVO Plus 1tb drive and along with this adapter transformed the little mini. I now get 700+ MB/s. Huge increase which you can feel when launching apps. To do Windows 11, it's easiest just install Windows 10 first using the bootcamp assistant, then while booted into windows put a bootable windows 11 thumb drive in and run setup. You're going to have to edit the registry at the point where it says this device doesn't support Windows 11 and viola I'm now running windows 11 and yes you will be able to do windows updates without an issue. For anyone interested just google search "install windows 11 on an unsupported device using registry edit". The proper keys to hit on the mac keyboard are: shift + F10 to bring up the command prompt during the installation. Couldn't be happier with this, the increase in speed is a welcome upgrade and keeps this mac mini now viable.
