That machine came very close to saturating my gigabit ethernet LAN. All my media was on an external USB 3.0 hard disk that clocked around 170MB/sec. But I used a plain vanilla base 1.4ghz/4gb/500gb HD Mini as an iTunes and file server for three years and it was just fine. Not sure exactly how you use your server or what kind of network you have. Rather, it's the combination of the 5400rpm drive and the 4gb of RAM that's "slowing things down". My guess is that there's nothing wrong with the software installation on the HDD itself.
Rather than Mojave, I would use Low Sierra (10.12) as my "OS of choice" on a 2014 Mini.īut if you want a "quick, easy, $0 way" to get things running with the new SSD, use CarbonCop圜loner (free to download and use for 30 days) to clone the contents of the HDD to the new SSD. Get an external USB3 enclosure for the existing HDD, it can still be useful as an external drive (for backups, etc.) This will accelerate page-ins and page-outs. you can alleviate this (to some extent) by booting and running from an SSD. It's always going to limit the computer, because the OS is probably "forcing page-ins and page-outs" (VM disk swapping) to the slow HDD.īut. The 4gb of RAM is soldered in and is NOT upgradeable. Apple deliberately sold folks a grossly-underpowered version of the Mini (sigh). Well, you'd better start "believing it", because that's the reality with the Mini that you have. "Maybe I'm just being optimistic, but I am hesitant to believe that supported hardware would run poorly enough to make me question if something was wrong."
