Next, go down the motherboard of Mac Mini, the red interface is the SATA interface, and the previous generation is only one SATA. The orange interface is a PCIE interface that can be used to pick Fusion Drive.
128 GB SSD solid state drive is also a PCIE interface,
Samsung S4LN053X01-8030 (ARM) Flash Controller
8 x Samsung K9ldgy8SIC-XCK0 16 GB Flash (8x16GB = 128GB)
Samsung K4P2G324ED 512 MB RAM (next page)
Next, look at the main devices on the motherboard:
Red Samsung K4E8E304EE-EGCE 8 GB LPDDR3 DRAM (8 GB X 4 = 32 GB = 4 GB), can not be replaced
Orange Cirrus Logic 4208-CRZ AUDIO CODEC
Yellow Broadcom BCM57766A1KMLG Ethernet PCIe Controller with SD3.0 Card Reader and Asf 2.0
Green Intel DSL5520 Thunderbolt 2 Controller

Next, remove the power module.
Finally, the hard disk, 500 gb, 5400 rpm hgst, 2.5 "width and 7 mm thickness can be taken.
After more than two years of silence, the small and cute Mac Mini finally upgraded. It can be said that the strongest Mini desktop has brought Intel's fourth-generation Core Haswell processor, HD5000 core graphics card, 802.11ac Wi-Fi wireless network card, PCI-E solid state drive and other shiny configuration.
