Not even manually running diskutil verifydisk disk0 in Terminal. No amount of First Aid using Disk Utility whether within macOS or in the Recovery mode worked to overcome this incumbrance. The App Store would download High Sierra – restart the Mac mini but half way through booting up, it would either prompt us with “an error occurred while verifying firmware” screen or restart into Recovery mode. In our experience, launching the App Store and using the automated High Sierra download and upgrade feature failed. We are upgrading this Mac mini from macOS 10.12, Sierra.
#LATE 2012 MAC MINI FOR MAC#
This is quite a standard hardware configuration for Mac mini Late 2012 (6,2) owners who have set up their systems to get the ‘best bang for their buck’. To set the scene, we are using a Mac mini Late 2012 (6,2) which has a dual internal hard drive configuration where the primary hard drive that the macOS sits on is a SSD whilst the secondary hard drive used to house the Home folder and data is a traditional mechanical hard drive. Whether intended or not, this results inadvertently in the macOS 10.13 High Sierra installer running into trouble when faced with Mac systems that have more than one hard drive.

Unfortunately we’re sad to report the future is not quite here yet.ĪPFS has been initially designed to function on pure Flash or SSD storage media, and does not support Fusion Drives and this forms the core of all that is wrong with High Seirra.

We haven’t tried it with other Macs but the theories applied here should work the same if you are facing similar issues on other Macs.ĭespite the touted ‘ease of use’, unfortunately Apple Inc has taken two steps back with their roll out of macOS 10.13 High Sierra. In this article we highlight and provide workarounds to successfully install macOS 10.13 High Sierra onto the legendary (the last of the Mac mini’s which could be configured with dual internal hard drives) Mac mini Late 2012 (6,2).
