Disk0 is your SSD with 121 GB and disk1 is your HDD with 1 TB (1.121 TB summed up). But I did hit a threshold with a 2008 Mac Pro, where by 2015, it was clear that my fortune in expanding that workflow could not compete with newer processing needs. Theoretically everything is fine with your Fusion Drive. This unsolicited advice coming from someone who is seduced by new releases. But if you are actually seeing a limit to the raw processing power of that 2012 Mac mini now, then that answers the question for you. It may not be an either/or budgeting choice against that future at all as you head down the road.Īnd, unlike memory, you can take your SSDs and backup with you. But if upgrades with your existing configuration can give you the headroom you need now, and in the interim, let the future take care of itself. At some point, the demand for a later processor will prevail. I come at this from a hardware processing standpoint, which is to also say imagine where you will be in that next year or two, workflow wise. FWIW, Nick’s input is worth it’s weight in gold.
1TB FUSION DRIVE MAC MINI 2012 UPGRADE UPGRADE
Upgrade now, improve your system's performance as you can and work to buy a new computer somewhere in the future or save now, keeping your system as it is, to buy a better machine on a near future?Ĭlick to expand.Yet I also hear you saying you’d desire more freedom in your workflow now, even as your pragmatic workarounds and future-proofing considerations are well-noted. Pop and rock are my main thing, but I'm investing a lot into the cinematic / orchestral world (libraries, courses.). My job is: i compose for libraries but also record bands. The iMac (27-inch, 3.2GHz Intel Core i5, Late 2012) features a quad core 3.2 GHz Intel Core i5 I5-3470 processor (Ivy Bridge), with four independent processor cores on a single chip, DMI system bus and an integrated graphics core, 8 GB of RAM, a 1TB GB (7200 RPM) hard drive or an optional 1TB Fusion drive, an SD memory slot card reader, Nvidia. To be honest, i don't have terrible performances right now (even without the SSDs), but bigger projects forces me to bounce in place everything (which is not the end of the world to me). or i can save money to get a Mac Mini (2018), Core i7 (3,2 Ghz), 32gb ram (changing by myself), 512 SSD on the next year or two (at the most). i have the budget right now to get 3 SSDs (one for system, other for libraries and another one for projects).
The only upgrade i can do with this computer is with its hard drive, so. I have a Mac Mini (Late 2012), Core i7 (3720QM - 2,6 Ghz), 16gb ram (DDR3), with 1tb Fusion Drive and running my libraries / projects from a Lacie 3tb 7200 rpm. I have looked around and saw in the computer shops near my office 4 possible candidates to use: 1. I want to use an SSD as a drop-in replacement, pin-for-pin. I have been called upon to replace a bad 500 GB hard drive in a late 2012 Mac mini. I´m in serious doubt so any advice / personal experience would be very helpful. Recommendations needed for SSD to relace HDD.
