Just in case anyone is interested in updating the storage in a Mac Mini M4, I have completed the installation in two machines that I wrote about earlier. ?
The first SSD drive I bought from expandmacmini.com. ?I received it about a month and a half after placing my order. ?I kept running into a problem trying to do the DRU Restore, getting an error message each time. I tried connecting the MM M4 to three different Mac M computers, changing cables, and finally solved the problem by reseating the SSD. ?However, my really bad experience was that I wrote Expand Mac Mini several emails asking for help or advice during this time and have yet to receive a response. ?
The second SSD I purchased for my wife's MM M4 was from Amazon. ?It was delivered much quicker than Expand Mac Mini. However, there was someone else's ID and password on it after doing the Restore and booting it up. ?Obviously it had been used prior to shipping. A second Restore fixed the issue. This made no sense to me and I think God intervened after all of our prayers. ?
My experience with the procedure is that it is a simple upgrade to swap the original SSD with a new larger SSD. I went from 256GB in each Mac to 1TB in one and 2TB in the other Mac Mini. All this for MUCH less than Apple charges.?
