Should I upgrade RAM or HDD to SSD on my Mac mini mid 2010?

Hello,
I have a mid 2010 Mac mini with 2GB of RAM. My apps like E-Mail, Safari, Google Chrome and others are starting slow and sometimes running slow. Should I upgrade RAM to 4GB or 8GB or replace my 320GB HDD to SSD?
Thank you yor help, DZetko

You are running a Core 2 Duo. Even a duck has paddling limitations. You are running Mountain Lion on a 2GB machine and it is starved for RAM. The performance is gravitational.
Upgrade your machine via the preceding MacSales link to matching 4GB modules for 8GB. I believe you will be astonished at the improvement. Make certain that you have used Disk Utility to verify/repair your system preferences, and then verify the boot drive while in Disk Utility.
In your login directory (~) go into the Library/Caches folder, select everything in it and move to Trash. Don't bother to empty the Trash just yet. Shutdown your mini.
Now, power on your mini. At the chime, press and hold the shift key until you see a grey horizontal progress bar. At the login window, press and hold the shift key again as you press the right-arrow icon to login. Release the shift key when the Finder menu bar appears. You are now in Safe Boot Mode. Empty the Trash. Reboot normally.
This just did a series of house-cleaning steps for you. It removed and/or rebuilt system cache files, including the Fonts cache. It also rebuilt the database governing the open with ... menu. So, if you had any duplication in there, they are repaired. Safe Boot Mode also does a low-level inspection of your boot drive. You should see some additional performance improvement. I do a Safe Boot Mode about once a month as routine maintenance.
With the improvements I have suggested and preceding pointers, you should have a 2010 Mac mini working as well as it can with Mountain Lion and a SATA II hard drive.

  • Maximum RAM upgrade for Mac Mini mid-2010?

    Hi,
    I have a Mac Mini mid-2010 (Model 4.1).   I purchased it with 4 Gb RAM, and I am now considering a RAM upgrade. 
    I currently am running OS 10.95 - and not particularly happy with the sluggish performance that has been the hallmark of my 'upgrade' to Mavericks on this machine. I figure that increasing RAM can only help what has become a sometimes teeth-gnashingly slow computer.
    In any case, the Apple tech specs document says that the maximum RAM for this machine is 8 Gb.  However, the macmemory.com web page for this model Mac Mini says it can handle 16 Gb so long as the OS is 10.7 or greater. 
    Is this true?  Anyone tried this?
    Thanks,
    HJ

  • Caught in a conundrum while trying to upgrade a Mac Mini (mid 2010) from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion

    Hi gang,
    I am in a very frustrating position as I try to upgrade my Mac Mini (mid 2010) from OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard to whatever the latest version of Mountain lion is. The reason I am doing this is because the original hard drive died and the Mini sat there for 6 months before we decided to get a new hard drive and revive it.
    I installed a new 500GB 7200rpm SATA drive and the problems began.
    First I couldn't get Mountain Lion installed as a fresh OS installation (using both a USB drive and a DVD to no avail). It just wouldn't go. The grey Apple logo/loading screen would come up and just sit there doing nothing while the loading icon spun.
    I then tried installing Snow Leopard (the OS that the Mini came with when it was new). After some messing around, that got done.
    However, a peculiar thing happens when the Mini boots. Everything loads up into Snow Leopard, but although the mouse curser moves, I cannot click on anything or use the keyboard for 4-5 minutes. Then it just work (I am typing this on the Mini). This happens every time.
    Now, when I updated to 10.6.8, I was able to load up the App Store and download the Mountain Lion install app. I clicked it and went through the initial copying of files and then the restart, but after the reboot, the grey loading screen would not progress. I rebooted again and held down the Option key to check out the available boot volumes, and all I saw was the installation DVD I had in there for Snow Leopard and a hard disk volume called "Mac OS X Installer."
    So I booted into the Snow Leopard install DVD and opened Disk Utility to check things out. I did a verify disk and a permissions repair. Interestingly, the first repair I did gave me the message that the ACL was missing from Volumes and that is was fixed. I read something somewhere which talked about the Access Control List and mouse/keyboard issues. But who knows. When I boot back into the Mini as normal I am returned to the fully-functioning Snow Leopard installation, like nothing happened.
    And now here is the kicker: it appears that the Firewire bus is hooped. In the Profiler, when I view the FireWire settings I get the message, "Warning: Unable to list FireWire devices." So I am pretty sure the one thing I cannot do is boot the Mini into target disk mode attached to my Mac Pro and installed Mountain Lion that way.
    So to recap: I can't finish the Mountain Lion installation because the install won't continue after rebooting because there is something wrong with the underlying base system, which might be hardware (FW bus) related. I think.
    Some things I have tried:
    Resetting the SMC
    Resetting the PRAM
    Reparing permissions
    Booting into Safe Mode (doesn't work)
    Booting into Verbose Mode to observe what happens (I get the "Can't load the Bootcache.playlist" error, which I suspect is related to the screwed up FW bus)
    Trying to boot using Internet Recovery (doesn't work)
    Booting into Single User Mode and attempting the "fsck -y" etc. sequence to try and repair the ACL that way
    So I am stuck.
    I guess the question is, should I get an external HD enclosure and install Mountain Lion onto the hard drive that way and hope it works when I put it back into the Mini?
    Any other ideas? I have spent a couple days ******* around with this is am running out of ideas...
    Any advice would be appreciated!

    Addendum: I read on a post here (http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=420169) about removing some kext files in order to trick OSX into thinking that there were no FireWire ports.
    I followed the instructions and removed from /System/Library/Extensions/ the following files:
    IOFireWireSerialBusProtocolTransport.kext
    IOFireWireAVC.kext
    IOFireWireFamily.kext
    IOFireWireIP.kext
    IOFireWireSBP2.kext
    I restarted and BAM...Snow Leopard booted crazy fast and the mouse and keyboard worked instantly.
    The System Profiler says "No FireWire ports were found."
    So this tells me that the FW port is probably the culprit and is messing up the installation.
    So how do I hack the Mountain Lion installer and tell it to ignore the FW port, which is obviously quite dead? Or is there something I can do to the Base system that is similar?

  • Upgrading RAM in the somewhat anomalous1.33 Ghz Mac Mini

    I have a 1.33 Ghz G4 Mac Mini that came with 512 MB RAM, and I'd like to upgrade the RAM to 1 GB. I haven't found any websites that specifically list this model of Mac Mini in their "find the RAM for your computer" search engines. According to my System Profiler, the pre-installed RAM is DDR SDRAM PC3200U-30330. So, I need to know exactly which RAM I should buy.
    Thanks,

    1.33 Ghz Mac Mini   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    Welcome to the Apple discussion forums.
    Sounds like you got one of the silent upgrade machines (mine is too). You'll want to read the Apple note on mini memory at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300572
    I upgraded my memory to 1GB, and used the Crucial (http://www.crucial.com) memory shown for the 1.42ghz mini, which is PC2700 memory. I did talk to someone at Crucial, and they said that the memory the the 1.42ghz mini used would work fine for the 1.5ghz mini, and they're right. Works like a charm, and passes all the memory tests I could throw at it. I also benchmarked it against other 1.5ghz 1gb mini's, and it's performance was on a par with them.
    I would look at Crucial or Kingston (not valueram) memory, although Samsung and Hynix will probably work fine, too (you can scan the discussion forums for others memory experiences). Kingston shows the same RAM strip for either the 1.25ghz or 1.42ghz mini's.
    If you're considering upgrading the memory yourself, two good sources on how to physically upgrade the ram are the OWC video at http://eshop.macsales.com/tech_center/index.cfm?page=Video/directory.html and a pictorial guide from ifixit at http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/82.13.0.html.

  • Mac Mini MID 2010 RAM UPGRADE... 1066 or 1330 GHRZ?

    Hi
    I had read something about upgrading the mac mini`s ram and some people had upgrade it with 1,3Ghrz of speed, but is not that clear. (DDR3)
    I want to know opinions about this, cuz the 1,3ghrz of ram are more frequently found on PC hardware stores instead the 1ghrz... (there is 0,8ghrz of ram, but I think they are pretty slow for the mini)
    my last question is about how much is recommended to upgrade... 8gb or 4gb... i usually use my Mini to edit video with iMovie and gaming (Steam, or League Of Leguends)

    I am sure Ronda has tracked you down, there is a party in your honor around the Water Cooler in the Lounge. You should have a link to it eventually. It will be going strong by the time you arrive in the next day or so!
    ¡Felicidades!

  • Mac mini (mid 2010) RAM upgrade 4GB or 8GB

    I have a mid 2010 Mac mini with 2GB of RAM. My question is - Should I upgrade the RAM to 4GB or 8GB?
    Thank you, DZetko

    It's is better to go for the full 8GB upgrade now,
    that way you will not have to upgrade again when OS X and your personal usage demand more. 

  • Mac Mini (mid 2010) won't accept upgrade to 8GB

    Hi All -
    Trying to upgrade from original 2 + 2 GB to new 4 + 4 GB. Spec says 8 GB is OK. The new memory is PNY type DDR3 1066 MHz PC3-8500 (this meets Apple spec). With 8 GB installed machine will not start  (1 beep every 5 s = no memory). However, if I install 2 + 4 = 6 GB everything is OK. It cannot be a faulty 4 GB module because either 4 GB works separately. I have tried reseating the modules numerous times. The Mac Mini is 2.66 C2 Duo with preinstalled Mac OS X Server Ver. 10.6.8. All related software is fully up to date.
    What is happening, and can it be sorted? Many thanks.

    maybe it is that one RAM module is bad,  try to exchange them for a new one.  I had that happen once bought bad RAM.
    I have that year mac mini and it runs so much better with the 8GB.

  • Mac Mini Mid-2010 Beeping every five seconds - HD Upgrade

    I upgraded my Mac Mini Server (Mid-2010) with two 480 GB SSD drives tonight. The drives are Intel (ssdsc2bb480g401) drives. I know the mid-2010 mini runs at 3 GB/s and the drives I put in are 6 GB/s.
    I thought the drives would work and just run at 3 GB/s. I'm getting a constant beep and LED flash every 5 seconds. I'm thinking the drives are not compatible.
    Anyone else run into this problem?
    I see a bunch online about memory upgrades related to beep sequences, but the memory is the original 4GB.  No change there.
    Thanks!

    den.thed,
    Thanks.  I have done that a few times already with no luck.  I just pulled the top module out and the computer booted.  I pull the bottom module out and replaced it with the top one and it booted.
    That tells me both modules are working.
    I think put the extra back in the top slot and the beeping comes back.  I have reseated a few times and still get the beep.  Maybe a bad slot?  Dammm static electricity is the only thing I can think of.

  • Mac Mini (mid 2010) horizontal screen flicker after new RAM installation

    Hi, trying to help someone fix their mid 2010 mac mini here.
    The model he bought came with 4GB of RAM; but he upgraded and put 8GB of RAM in. (the kingston variety KVR1066D3D4R7S/4GI 4GB DDR3-1066 I think)
    Before the RAM there were no display problems, after installation small horizontal lines of flickering would appear around every minute or so. The screen is a Samsung 2333 Syncmaster connected via the mini display adaptor.
    We've tried the display and adaptor in a Macbook Pro late 2008 and no problems so we think we've eliminated that variable. We've just gone through the screen calibration in Sys Prefs and we're still seeing if that's fixed it. We'll also try adjusting the refresh rate but we're doubtful.
    Any ideas?

    Apple support advised me to use RAM sold by Apple ($400 for 8GB).
    I have 2x4GB hynix modules (by the way I had hynix stock modules in my mini) and if I mix 4GB(not Apple) and 1GB(Apple) it works just fine. It's obvious that 2 different modules won't work in dual channel BUT Xbench shows no difference in performance in any configuration. I tested different configurations: 2x4GB(not apple memory), 2x1GB(stock modules), 1Gb+4GB(stock and non stock) all of them show very similar performance +/- 3%.
    This mean that mac mini doesn't use dual-channel memory mode (( There's also a chance that Xbench shows wrong results regarding RAM performance but to me, it seems very unlikely.

  • Mac Mini (Mid-2011 Core i7) Slow after Yosemite Upgrade

    I've searched the other "slow after Yosemite upgrade" threads but those seem to relate to Core Duo 2 machines with less RAM.  I have a Core i7 MM w/ 8GB of RAM, after the Yosemite upgrade it constantly lags, I can barely type on it these days because the text lags so badly.  It's unusable to say the least.  Is there anything I can do to speed it up?  There must be a reason why the performance is so bad.

    Hello
    How far is it possible to upgrade a Mac Pro mid-2010 to the maximum performance. I would be interested how far one could come close to the performance of the new Mac Pro 2013, or is it hopeless.
    My computer
    Mac Pro
    mid-2010
    Processor 2 x 2.4 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
    Memory 14 GB 1066 MHz DDR3 ECC
    Graphics Card ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024 MB
    Software OS X 10.9.1 (13B42)
    Please excuse my english is not the best because.

    For what apps?
    Okay, you have the slower 2.4GHz processors, most have found that MHz still rule and matter, meaning a 6-core 3.4GHz for some applications (most) was the best and the sweet spot.
    So you could upgrade to a pair of 3.2GHz 4-core (cheapest) rather than splurge on two 6-core 3.34GHz (more expensive and more cores).
    First thing to do, put the system on a 256GB Samsung 840 SSD.
    For photoshop and graphics, invest in some more SSD ($US300 for 500GB) and put those on a PCIe SSD controller ($300 Sonnet Tempo Pro) and put Aperture/Lightroom on one, and use the 2nd SSD for scratch.
    RAM: 24-32GB would probably help all but the more casusalist of user.
    Tips and articles:
    http://www.macperformanceguide.com head to the TOPICS main page and there are dozens of sections each a different area of upgrade and optimization for applications. Storage, memory, how to, use arrays, backup strategy.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    The Mid 2011 Mac mini supports 8 GB of memory officially, but you can install up to 16 GB of RAM, so you can use 2, 4 and 8 GB modules. You can buy more RAM from OWC or Crucial.
    If you are looking for memory at a local shop, make sure you buy 1333 MHz DDR3 memory. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4432?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
