Great info above. So if i sign into my own apple account on a different computer and download mountain lion and create a bootable usb of mountain lion like in that video above and then plug in that usb into a brand new mac mini with a new ssd installed in it I should just be able to install mountain lion and be on my merry way, yes? Just trying to make sure by asking in idiot proof way, lol. I will be getting a mac mini, ssd and ram all at once and just figured it would be much easier to do it only once by the way to the creator of that video. Awesome video. Makes it very simple for basic computer users like myself THANKS!

I havent read past this post so I'm not sure if it holds true or not, but I'm surprised no one has mentioned the OCZ Vertex 4 yet. I absolutely LOVE mine. I opted for the 128GB since it was only $99 at the time I bought it from Amazon, and it comes with a 5 year warranty. The drive works amazingly fast, and it's cheap.

It is recommended that in a 2102 Mini the SSD be in the lower bay (one nearest the bottom access cover) since some usrs have experienced problems with an SSD booting when installed in the upper bay.

They assume since OCZ has had problems in the past, they continue to do so. I haven't had an issue at all. The 256GB version of the drive is only $204 right now on Amazon, which is a GREAT deal on such a good SSD. If I have any issues with mine, I'll update this, but I would recommend this SSD hands down. The customer support, as well ad the drive itself are awesome. Definitely worth a look, at the very least -EDIT- I do want to point out that I don't currently have my Mac Mini yet, but I will be getting it soon. The drive I posted is working perfectly in my Win7 machine, but I haven't heard anything wrong with OSX, including ML. Great info above.

Since the macOS Mojave Public beta has been released, you have to download that from App store if you are a developer account. Use the Restore Disk Image to Drive dialog box to browse for the DMG file with the installation files for Mac OS X Yosemite in this case, and click OK to create a bootable USB of the operating system. Windows 10 bootable usb install. Just have a quick question though: most people seem to have the OS and apps installed on the SSD and keep their data on a bigger normal HDD. Does this cause any lag?
