- 2012 Mac Mini - external SSD recommendation? Discussion in '. Another happy Samsung SSD user. StephenT, Mar 27, 2020. StephenT, Mar 27, 2020 #26.
- I also have a 2012 quad core i7 Mac Mini. Though I have a pair of external Samsung SSDs, I also upgraded my stock Mac internal drive to a pair of Samsung 1TB internal SSDs I have my OS on one internal drive and track to the 2nd, and only use my externals for backup. Have you upgraded your internal drive? I’d start there first if you haven’t.
I finally made the jump to upgrade my 2012 Mac Mini to dual Samsung 500gb 850 Evo SSDs and between the ifixit guide and the kit – everything went swimmingly. The issue arose once I tried to get OS X back onto the drives. I wanted to do a clean install from a USB drive or Internet Recovery and both kept failing. It would install, but I'd get the 'no' error on boot (the circle with a slash through it).

I finally thought to install OS X on the other drive and it went in without a hitch. Looking in Disk Utility, the problem drive is the 'upper' one (the one with the ifixit cable).
I ran a speed test and was getting the expected 500MB/s speeds on the 'lower' drive, and the write test for the 'upper' drive was 500MB/s, but the read test completely failed. Perplexed, I switched it out for a traditional HDD in that spot and everything was gravy. I even put that SSD in an external enclosure and everything was working fine on multiple machines.
Does anyone have any thoughts on why that may be happening? Did I miss something obvious during my research or install? Am I doomed to suffer?
Thanks!
Is this a good question?

Can you explain how you have the drives setup. Remember you can't use a Fusion setup.

Hi Dan! The drives were just independently installed in both bays. They're not RAID, fusion, or anything special. Just a couple o' drives. I was planning on using one to boot from and one to use for whatever (backups, media ,etc).
