the Samsung 850 Evo, then you could get this configuration with just the 1TB hard drive, then replace that hard drive with your 2TB Samsung 850 Evo. If you are happy to only have a 2TB SATA III SSD i.e. You could get a 2TB SATA III SSD but as I pointed out this is only a third of the speed of a PCIe SSD. SSD drives with this proprietary connector can now be bought from third-parties, however the biggest I have seen is only 1TB the same as Apple's.

The PCIe SSD in the Mac mini 2014 is the same as the MacBook Pro 2013/2015 and that means it uses a proprietary Apple connector and not the standard M2 connector.

Third party companies may start selling PCIe SSD upgrade kits for the Mac mini but I have struggled to find one already available. In order to have all the required screws, cables and/or brackets so you can have your own SSD and hard drive fitted you do need to buy a Fusion configuration. It could be the price has been reduced.ДЄpple do not offer a 2TB SSD option or even a 2TB hard drive option, as you spotted the nearest option is a 2TB Fusion configuration. I have seen nothing to indicate the Mac mini has been changed so yes it is still the 2014 model.

As a server what do you want it to do? File server, email server, VPN server, media server, etc.?.

If so, do you need them both to perform as servers or just one?.

It will really depend on a number of things: I was adviced to go for the model with the default 1TB 5400rpm HDD, buy the upgrade to the 3.0Ghz i7 and then replace that HDD with the SSD from my current Mac Mini. If it is, I want to replace the HDD with an SSD (Samsung EVO 850). I still use the 2011 mini as a file and media server and it currently is running OS X El Capitan Server. I do not have the Mid 2011 mini Server, but do have both a Mid 2011 non-server mini and a Late 2014 mini and I can attest a significant performance improvement with the newer model overall. You can compare it against the 2011 version (there is no Late 2011 model however, there was a Mid 2011 mini Server) using Apple Support - Specifications. The latest (currently) Mac mini is a Late 2014 model. Also make sure you have the power cord plugged into a grounded outlet as well (grounding doesn't help if it's not connected).I'm thinking of replacing my late 2011 Mac Mini Server 2GHz i7 with the latest 3Ghz i7 model from 2017. Getting a metal/metal plated plastic boxed SSD should do better. The foil directly is not the problem it's the adhesive acts as a bit of an insulator. Monitor it to make sure you don't over heat (try using one sheet across the rails if it gets too hot). The only rub here is the heat build up inside the SSD. The ground connection to the chassis is made by the mounting screws thru the foil.

Using packing tape secure this contact point and insulate any areas that could get to close to anything.

This time remove a patch of adhesive where the two strips cross over each other so you can make good contact between the sheets. Take a second strip and do the same across the rail sides. Cover the drive with one strip and covers three sides (in a U) starting at the I/O connector and then back. To add shielding go to Home Dept or Lowes heating systems isle look for foil tape used to seal ducks (not duck tape!). You could try added some shielding around the SSD but be very careful not to have anything shorting to the added shielding.

Protecting the rest of the logic from it's EMI/RFI noise (in your case the WiFi & Bluetooth antennas are picking up the noise). Sounds like the SSD case is not shielded or does not have enough shielding.
