Time for a drive upgrade. This HDD I’m replacing is the last remaining component from the pre-built I bought in 2018.

    Does it take a lot less time these days? The 2014 Mac Mini is the first and (so far) the only Apple device I’ve owned. The OS installation and updates take close to an hour on this one.

      That feels about right for how long it took that one. I don’t have any idea what more modern macs are like - that 2012 one is the only one I’ve ever worked on, and it wasn’t for personal use. I suspect that if it had an SSD it would have gone faster.
