I don’t know about you, but once I checked out the mac mini I loved it. Small and pretty powerful to run my everyday apps like photoshop, office, and some older games like halo.

The best part of the mac mini is that now I can run windows and the mac os, natively using bootcamp.

My only problem now is the size of the hard drive. In the video below I will show you how to supersize your mac mini with a 1 Terabyte drive or larger.

Below are also the links to the components you will need to get this done. Remember to also get some glue to hold the cable in place.

One last thing I want to mention is to watch my video on how to open the mac mini to upgrade the drive which will show you step by step how to take it apart. Here are the links:  PART1  PART2
