Includes everything needed to replace your Mac Mini (2009) or iMac (2009-2011) optical drive with a second HDD or SSD
Add up to an additional 1TB of internal storage. Add a Solid State Drive (SSD) for near instantaneous boot and app load. Even create a RAID array! Includes bracket screws, and detailed installation guide for complete all in one solution.
Configuration flexibility is yours when you replace your Mac mini or iMac's internal SuperDrive with the OWC Data Doubler. This custom engineered blue anodized aluminum bracket with adapter cable comes ready to mount any 9.5mm tall 2.5" SATA HDD or SSD.
OWC Data Doubler makes it easy to custom design how you want your internal storage to perform. Installed drives are recognized like any other high speed SATA storage device and can be setup and partitioned using the Apple Disk Utility Program.
Just a few of the configuration options you can enjoy with Data Doubler:
• Creating an individual volume with its own desktop icon.
• Combining a new drive with the existing internal drive for one larger volume (SPAN).
• Combining a new matching drive with existing internal for high-performance RAID-0 Stripe volume.
• Configuring a new drive as a Time Machine backup drive.
• Formatting one drive for the Mac OS and the other dedicated for Windows.
Bootcamp note: As Windows can only be installed from an internal drive, please note that you will have to put your optical drive back inside your Mac to do a clean install of Windows. Alternatively you can use software like Winclone to copy an existing partition and reinstall it at will.
Includes: Includes bracket, screws, and detailed installation guide for complete all-in-one kit.
