Mac Mini SSD Upgrade/Swap (Intel 520 480GB SSD vs SATA2 Toshiba 512GB SSD)
This weekend I had a chance to swap my SATA2 Toshiba 512GB SSD in a Late 2012 Mini for an SATA3 480GB Intel 520 SSD. (520 owner had a 2009 MacBook Pro and found out too late that the SATA3 SSD would only run at SATA1 speeds in it, so made a deal to exchange for the SATA2 512GB Toshiba if I did the install.)
  Unlike the first SSD swap in that mini, this time I had a few issues to work around (like read-only cloned volume) but it turned out well, with a nice performance boost. The whole story is on a separate page. (Added a couple more pix/notes on Tues.)
