I've had my g1 since 2013. Upgraded to 16 GB of ram and added (3) Sandisk Extreme SSD 2TB units. Not one problem in all of these years! THX for your videos!

Is there a difference between the screws that hold the drive to the caddy for the different generations of the minis or are they all the same??? My G4 came with a caddy but no screws for the drive itself...

Just saw a EliteDesk 800 G4 Mini w/i5 8500T, 16gb ram, no Wi-Fi, no SATA Caddy (also no cable) for about 100 USD.

The USB 3.2 10Gbps and Type C port that come with the Q370 chipset seem like a nice side grade from the H370 on my Optiplex 3060M.

I was wondering if the SATA cables are the same from a G2 or G3 compared to the G4. Like would it work if I get the cable meant for a G2 or G3 that on a G4.

I see the G4 cable for ~8 USD, cable & caddy for ~18 USD (too expensive for me). While a G2/G3 cable is 4~5 USD.

From what you mentioned in the video it would though mounting a 2.5" SSD is gonna be something else without a caddy.
