Our guides are structured from a hardware perspective which can be a bit confusing when you are trying to setup a dual drive configuration like a Fusion Drive.
So you have a HDD drive and now you need to add in the SSD using this Flex cable for a solid state drive (SSD) for the Mac Mini following this guide Mac mini Late 2014 PCIe SSD Kabel austauschen then you need the SSD [verlinktes Produkt fehlt oder ist deaktiviert: IF123-123] you only need the smaller 240 GB drive.
At this point you have the needed hardware and if you’ve got it all installed you’ll need to run Disk Utility to format the SSD and lastly convert your SSD & HDD into a Fusion Drive following this How to make your own Fusion Drive

your guide says compatible to the older Mac mini 2011/2012 not 2014
I just checked all of the hardware posts all state clearly 2014 so I have no idea what you are reading. The Fusion Drive setup guide (2012) is older than your system which is why it doesn't state 2014 as your system came out afterwards.
I can tell you I've setup a good dozen without any problems.
Yes, you can. And I just did mine and the speed (and size) of the fusion drive is awesome. Here are the brief steps:

My mini came with just a 256GB SSD. I’d like to add 1TB HDD. And make it a Fusion setup. Does the 2014 SSD-only version have the HDD connector already?
