Carefully pull the tool toward the I/O board.
Be sure it makes contact with the top side of outer case below the logic board before proceeding. Insert the Mac Mini Logic Board Removal Tool into the two holes highlighted in red. Putting data on the SSD has less effect because most data aren’t that big or speed sensitive (photos and video excepted).
No doubt, putting all your system and application files on a SSD is the best and cheapest way to dramatically improve overall speed. Instead I configured my Mac Mini with a 500 GB SSD primary drive and a 1 TB HD as a secondary, but of course you could put two separate up to 4 TB SSDs in the two slots, depending on your needs and how much you want to spend. I did this and tried to re-install the Fusion Drive, which requires a special version of OS X, but failed several times and gave up in the end. Thunderbolt also supports other peripherals that use the Thunderbolt standard which provides up to 10 Gbps of bandwidth in both directions.

That way, my factory HD actually keeps it's 650MB RECOVERY HD which allows you to still do rescue/recovery stuff just like factory. (Something like disk2s2 instead of just disk2). I also used a special guide I found on the web that uses CoreStorage commands to make a Fusion drive out of the factory HD 'Macintosh HD' PARTITION and not the entire DISK.
Even worse, it seemed like my 2 HD-to-logic-board cables were going to be pinched when the top HD got installed! Then I realized if you tip your Mac Mini sideways (pretend its a book and stand it on it's 'spine'), gravity will pull the hard drive locating pins into the 2 grommets, and you'll realize the top HD actually sits a fair bit higher than it appears, and there shouldn't be much risk of cable pinching when finished. When I was reassembling my Mac Mini, the top HD seemed to just flop on there and I was concerned it wasn't going to really be secured by anything. › ∎∎∎ Internal Drive For Mac Mini Late 2012 Reviews
