Q: upgrade ssd portion of fusion drive
-
Jun 20, 2015 8:54 AMby WoodyJohn,Thank you! I appreciate your taking the time to reply. I did know about the ram not being soldered (I upgraded that already), and I know that the hdd can be upgraded, and a 2nd drive added, but have you actually seen a 2012 mini that came factory equipped w/ a fusion drive that had the ssd portion upgraded? The only reason I'm asking is an authorized Apple repair shop is insisting that the ssd is soldered in. It looks like a pretty involved upgrade and I want to be absolutely sure before starting. Thanks again, Illaass!

However. other articles/forums tends to indicate it is a standed SATA SSD.
If you go to System Report, what does that say about the SSD? Psting a screenshot would be nice.

Jun 20, 2015 9:42 AMby lllaass,HelpfulBased on the number of the SSD liked it appears to be a blade SSD for 2012 and some later MacBook Pros with Retina display

Here are blade SSDs for the retina MacBook Pro.
You can call Macsales/OWC and ask them to confirm it is the same
