[GUIDE] Catalina on HP EliteDesk 800 G4/G5 Mini - The Perfect MacMini8,1 Hackintosh - CLOVER & OC

[taskrov]

I am considering buying this mini. Per HP Manual this supports a SATA drive. Can anyone tell me if these come with a cage for a 2.5" drive? I want to dual boot Windows and Macos.

You'll more likely get a response if you post in the current HP G4/G5 mini thread that's still active.

@trs96 I bought a HP ProDesk 600 G4 Mini per your suggestion. What a beautiful piece of hardware. I am wondering if I got a brand new one. It was immaculate and still sealed, only a few months out of HP warranty. It has a HDD cage and two M.2 slots. I installed Ventura on it on the first try as Macmini 8,1. Thanks.

Do you still have the link to the Amazon seller you bought it from ?

It looks like it went up in price by $50. When I ordered mine there was only one left.
