Mac Mini mid 2010 drive identification

I've no idea of the construction of a Mini, but you could test it empirically.

Remove one drive, see if it will boot.
If yes, look at Disk Utility & see which drive remains.
If no, then you removed the only boot source.


After removing both internal drive I determined that the second hdd is underneath. So everything has to be removed to get to it. This includes fan, system board, power supply and brackets.
