In this video, I will upgrade the slow hard disk in an Apple Mac Mini Late 2014 to a SATA SSD and I will also install macOS Sonoma on it. As part of this, we will also check the performance before and after the upgrade.
These two actions extend the useful life of this nice device significantly.

As mentioned in the video, I did a more detailed video on installing macOS Sonoma on unsupported Apple Mac models
