Can anyone assist with what parts I would need to add an SSD to a Mac Mini 2014 that came with a PCIe 512 GB drive?
I'd like to make it a dual drive setup, but can't confirm what part is needed to do so. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Это хороший вопрос?

If you already have the PCIe SSD then you're adding a SATA drive (either a HD or a SSD) You'll need the to follow this IFIXIT guide Mac mini Late 2014 Hard Drive Cable Replacement and need this part & tool kit: Mac mini Dual Drive Kit. Be careful here! The size of the drive needs to physically fit (12 mm is about it).
If you have a SATA HD already then you'll want this: either the drive carrier with the SSD cable mounted Hard Drive Carrier w/ SSD Flex Cable - Apple P/N 076-00040 or the cable its self Cable, SSD Flex - Apple P/N 076-00018

Dan, If I already have a fusion drive in there will I need any of these replacement parts, or can I just substitute the respective PCIe and 2.5 inch drives for the existing ones?
You'll need to make a full backup before doing anything.
First step is to break the Fusion Drive following this How to split up a Fusion Drive.
And yes, all of the needed hardware sans the replacement drive/s is present.
But before you jump what is your goals here?

When adding a HDD to a PCIe SSD only 2014 mini, which HDD cable do you need? (1) the mini dual drive cable, or (2) the upper SATA cable?
