#Mac mini 2010 ram 2 gb for mac
The C2D CPU in the 2010 Mac Mini is plenty fast enough for Mac Mini kind of tasks. There is a real risk of messing up the machine. Take a look at OWC's HD replacement videos to see if you think you could manage it. My advice would be to only attempt a SSD swap if you KNOW you have the skills and dexterity to disassemble small intricate parts.
#Mac mini 2010 ram 2 gb install
Pay a shop to install a 500 GB (or 250 GB) Samsung 850 EVO SSDĪlthough you can attempt to replace the drive yourself, plenty of people have broken things while attempting to do so. I've tried to run a Mini with just 2 GB of RAM before, and with macOS now consuming almost all of that space for itself, it is almost impossible to use. In any case, I think the most important improvement you could do right now is to increase the RAM. On C2D: Yes, the Core 2 Duo CPU is getting a little long in the tooth today, but I've gotta say that it still holds up well for most standard tasks. I have to admit, though, that I'm still doing just fine with my good old HDD.
Alternatively, it is possible to connect an SSD externally (and even boot from it!) however, even using the Firewire 800 port would not give you the same speed advantage as having it installed internally. But many folks on this forum have successfully done so. On SSD: Yes, it is quite possible to install an SSD into the 2010 Mini! However, it is not all that easy of a process the Unibody-style Minis are less forgiving to those who wish to modify their internals. But how much you really need can only be determined by the workload you give your machine. I'm using 8 GB on my machine right now, which leaves plenty of room for my browser, my e-mail, iTunes, and often one or two other applications to remain up without running out of room. Four is just barely usable for very light duty work eight is most likely the minimum needed today for a computer being used for any serious applications. On RAM: I'm afraid 2 GB of of RAM is practically unusable with modern versions of macOS. Hi I'm typing this message from my own 2010 Mini it's still working just fine for me.
