Q&A
Will you be designing 4TB or 8TB storage modules?
No. Mac mini M4 support 2TB max.
Why does the flashing process stop midway?
The most likely cause of the flashing process stopping is that the SSD is not properly installed. Please ensure the SSD is securely connected and properly seated in its slot. If needed, try reinstalling the SSD and restarting the process. If the issue persists, contact customer service for further assistance.
Does this module support Mac mini M4 Pro?
No, it does not.
Is it possible do install it without 2nd Mac?
Of cource. You can install the firmware with 2nd Mac or Windows with iTunes, and even a Linux PC. See: https://ipsw.me/install/Mac16,10/24C101
Will you be designing storage modules for the Mac mini M4 Pro?
We are in the process of designing a version of the Mac mini M4 Pro and will have a sale link on the shelves once testing is complete, so keep an eye on us.
Do you offer a warranty for the SSD modules?
Yes, we offer a 1-year limited warranty for each SSD module we sell. For more details about the warranty terms, please visit: Terms of Sale.
What data should I back up before installing the M4 Mac Mini Expand Card?
It’s crucial to back up all your important data before beginning the upgrade process. This includes all your personal files, applications, photos, videos, documents, and any other data you’d like to retain. It would be best to clone the entire hard drive if possible, using software such as Carbon Copy Cloner. This ensures that your data is safe, and that you can restore it to the newly upgraded system with ease. You can use Time Machine, a cloud backup service, or a dedicated disk cloning software for this process.
Do I need a second Mac to install the SSD in my Mac Mini M4?
The second computer is necessary because your new SSD will be blank with no operating system. Your Mac Mini will need to be put into recovery mode and restored using another device that can run the Mac recovery tools.
Will it truly match Apple’s speed?
Yes. We use the same SSD chips and thorough testing to confirm identical performance to Apple’s official drive.
Great kit and instructions in online video, and has worked flawlessly so far. Sitting at 38C at normal usage which is good - haven't tried stressing it but expect it will hold up well.
Would recommend.
My original 1TB drive failed after a few months and SlimQ honored its warranty sending me a replacement after I returned the original drive to them. I am very satisifed with their support.
The SSD upgrade kit is self contained and idiot proof. Even a pre-school kid can install it with the tools provided. This solution is as simple as it can get.
Just did the upgrade in a new Mac Mini M4, it has worked well!
I had one issue, unrelated to the product. After installing the drive, I connected the Mac mini to my MacBook (Intel), which triggered the DFU restore screen as expected. But I was unable to press the restore button. After 30mins of trying different cables, reading forums etc, I found a software update dialog window that had opened behind my finder window. A quick update to my MacBook, and then the DFU restore went smoothly. I thought I would put this here in case anyone else has the same issue.
I receiving the package 10 days after the order and installed it in my Mac Mini without problem (although I was a bit nervous!). I've got problems with restoring the 2 TB SSD due to a problem of my installing Mac. The Slim support was very responsive to help.
Very happy .
Excellent and easy to install. Be very careful when seating the drive, initially got a 2006 error when trying to flash. Support was quick / excellent to help sort it out. Re-seated the drive and away we go. Shipping took just under 2 weeks to Canada.
Received it finally. Installation was easy however, I had to use a different set of screwdrivers but it's just 2 minute job. Once installed, restoration was easy. I suggest you to download firmware using ipsw.me website and on restore screen, instead of clicking button, Drag and drop that firmware and it'll take around 10 minutes to get things done. Speed is super fine
Chip was a direct fit for my Mac mini M4. This 2TB drive has read/write speeds faster than the drive that came with it. Instal was super easy since the bottom is attached with 4 ball heads that slide into pinch connectors which would be hard to damage during cover removal and installation. Hardest part was having to repeat the restore a few times due to my internet connection dropping a few times.
Overall great product.
Had doubt but couldn't resist the tempt. It came in fast and has been working for a month already. No lagger or anything strange, just work. Amazing. I am happy to save a few hundreds. Really hope Apple can give people affordable choice like this one.
The drive is solid but the speeds are slower than the original SSD and some other SSD created for the Mac Mini. I was comparing benchmark test and it was hitting below the ones I see on youtube and the Apple one.
The product came directly from China. (Dropshipping ?) Installation was easy and everything seems to work properly. Unfortunately my Mac Mini M4 became unstable and randomly it needed a system restore. Exactly as mentioned in Reddit about third party ssd. After a few days I’ve sent it back to China. Still waiting for it to arrive. Don’t know if I’ll get arefund or replaceable SSD or nothing.
The drive literally died after two days - caused my M4 Mac Mini to go into a loop of freezing, crashing and rebooting before my system got bricked. Putting the original drive back in brought it back to life. I've now sent it back for an exchange, hopefully I'l have better luck with the replacement.
That is first time and will be my last time I’m ordering from your website, the customer service is disappointing and as of today it has passed 24 days I’ve still not received my item, this is disaster, I don’t know how you make business like that
Good luck in the future
