OWC DIY Drive Upgrade Kits for Mac mini (and MacBook / MacBook Pro models)
The new base model Mac mini comes standard with a 320GB drive that can be factory upgraded to 500GB for an additional $100. To provide
a better value than the factory upgrade, OWC offers ‘DIY’ upgrade kits of

include the drive, five-piece installation tool kit, and an external, bus-powered, pocket-sized enclosure for the
continued use of the existing drive replaced during the upgrade process. Compared to the factory option, the $89.99 500GB OWC ‘Do-It-Yourself’ Kit not only
costs $10 less to end up with the same 500GB internal capacity, but also provides a 320GB bus-powered external drive as well. For more information on all of the OWC ‘DIY’ Upgrade Kits, visit
