Recently installed a 480 GB OWC Aura Pro X2 SSD on my 2014 Mac Mini . Fresh install of macOS Monterey V 12.3.1 and Data transfer complete. My question is can I erase the original HDD and use it for storage ?
Yes! Just reformat it to clean the drive or just erase to OS. But you will first need to make sure your SSD is the boot drive.
