Apple Fusion versus Seagate Hybrid Drive
How does the Apple Fusion drive (500 GB), which is a $200 upgrade on the Mac Mini, compare in performance to the Seagate Hybrid Drive (500 GB) which is part of the iFixit upgrade package (at about $110 including the logic board tool.)

Has anybody tried a hybrid drive in a 2014 mini?

The Seagate Hybrid is going to be much faster than a standard drive, I would say that you would be looking at 17 seconds from "Bong" to desktop (or faster), and once trained everything else will rocket as well.

@Steve - If you have a HD only unit then swapping out the HD for a SSHD would be a good direction to gain performance for you. If you have a SSD model and want to add more storage a standard HD fused with the SSD (Fusion drive config) would be a good direction as well. If you don't set up a Fusion Drive set then the SSHD will also be beneficial. I would not recommend setting up the Fusion Drive with the SSHD as you would have dueling systems trying to either cache or migrate to the SSD. A very confused system!

Thanks for your comments, I have bought a 2nd hand 2014 2.6 with a mechanical 500gb HD and was wondering whether to get the parts to use a Macbook PCIe flash blade leaving the 500gb drive attached. I think I would need to get the cables to go with that.
I will see how it goes and maybe just buy a 240gb SSD drive which sounds to be a lot simpler!
Thanks
Steve

@Steve - I've corrected your system choice to the correct unit. Please review the IFIXIT guides before you do anything. At this time Apple is not offering the needed parts to add in a second drive (SSD) in model so your only choice here is a swap out of the HD. Here's the SSD guide as reference: Mac Mini Late 2014 SSD Replacement as you can see its a custom blade type SSD.
