Hi, Yes they can. It can be done when you order your Mac, or after the fact. Some of the newer Macs must be ordered with your desired specs as they are extremely difficult, or almost even impossible to change/upgrade. Those with the spinning drive though are often more easily upgraded to the

That should work. Before you do the installation though, you'll need to open Disk Utility and format the SSD as MacOS Extended (Journaled). Once it has been formatted properly, you can install Sierra. If you have access to a wired Internet connection instead of wireless, that may make the pro

Hi, Putting an SSD into your Mini would realize huge improvements in access speed for you. An SSD itself is often 60 to 80 times faster than a spinning HD, so you will see big improvements to app loading times and some processing times. For example, when I changed my MacBook Pro from a spinni
