I have a late 2012 Mini. I put in an OCZ Vertex4 512GB SSD and it ran great. Then I changed it to a Samsung EVO 840 500GB SSD. That also ran great. There was nothing wrong with the Vertex I just changed it to see if any difference. The Samsung runs a little faster per benchmarks but could not see the difference in real use. With Yosemite using any aftermarket trim app like Trim Enabler is risky (see their site) so I have no trim. I do not expect any issues in the life of my Mini using these newer SSD's.
I have the Mac mini Mid 2011 added a dual drive kit and put the 500GB drive as the secondary and a 120GB SSD as the boot drive. More about mac mini mid 2011 ssd. Mac Mini Mid.

Best Ssd For Imac 2011
SSD needed for 2011 mac mini by mantoe / February 6, 2015 7:44 AM PST Hello everyone I want to get a ssd for my 2011 mac mini running yosemite with 16gb, i5 2.3. I am adding a 2nd SSD to my 2011 Mini (using the ifixit kit) and started with a Samsung 830. Samsung had released a firmware update to fix a BSOD problem with Windows in January so I updated my drive before installing it.
