Racer X,
When. I got my 2012 mini, I also bought a 250GB SSD for it to go in the empty spot for the optical drive.
I tried it as a Fusion drive, marrying it to the 1TB 5400rpm native drive. Very fast. Decided to separate them. I did not need that much space. Left the 250 SSD as boot drive. Partitioned the 1TB into a backup clone and TM drive. I use externals for the home movies and backups for pictures, documents, and music that I don't use daily.
