Upgrade Path for a 2012 mini…

I also have a 2012 Mac mini. Here are a few clarifications for the group:

It has two drive bays. Neither are proprietary, although a hardware kit is often needed to use the second bay.

It has two RAM slots. No tools are needed to upgrade RAM. Not even a screwdriver.

There’s no optical drive. The last mini with an optical drive was the 2010 model.

This is the last fully upgradeable Mac.

That's what I thought. So I can add an SSD and still keep the fusion drive installed. Correct?

Also how do I know what system my mini shipped with?
I didn't keep track of all the software upgrades. There are notes on OWC site about if it shipped with 10.8.2 you have to format the new drive in a different way. LINK
