I don’t need to say that power cord and other cables should be disconnected from the Mac Mini, right? Apple has a very illustrated guid of how to remove or install Mac Mini memories. The access to the memories is pretty simple, just rotate the bottom cover counterclockwise to the unlocked position.


I would like to say to use both slots to take the benefits of Dual Channel. The maximum memory is 8GB (4GB each slot). Mac Mini (Mid 2011) accepts a pair of 1 GB, 2 GB, or 4 GB memory modules.

I bought the Kingston’s KTA series (KTA-MB1333/4G) which is Kingston’s memories for Apple products. Despite being more expensive then their own general memories it’s a lot more cheaper then Apple’s memories. A lot of manufacturers follows Apple’s specifications: Kingston, OWC, Corsair, etc. Some generals memories brings these resources and this can cause compatibility problems. It’s because Apple’s compatible memories can’t have the resources bellow: For the Mac Mini (Mid 2011) these specifications are:ĭespite I read some people saying that they had no problem using general memory I prefer not to risk. So you ask me: Can I use generals notebook’s memories like the Kingston’s Valued Ram for example? Well, Apple has some specifications for memories. The Mac Mini (Mid 2011) uses notebook memories. You can find cheaper memories right there. If you are thinking to buy a Mac Mini or a Mac in general, I’m telling you, doesn’t worth to buy it with more memory then the standard. Watch out! I no longer use a Mac Mini or Apple’s products since I migrated to a Linux Notebook in 2013 due to the evolution of the Linux Desktop in the last years.
