the mac mini shipped with 1 500gb HHD so i added a SSD for the main boot drive. the 2 parts i needed were the SSD of course and the "bottom flex cable" from apple.

i eventually had to remove the screws from this side of the tray because once inserted into the mac mini the screw holes for the bracket wouldn't line up. i tried shaving down the grommet but with the screws it was still to big. i ended up only using 2 screws on the other side to secure the hard drive. its a snug fit and i don't think the hard drive will move.
