Hi everyone,
would it be possible to replace the hard disk that comes with the mac mini (1.42Ghz, 512Mb ram, 80Gb HD, combodrive) with a new one that is 7.200rpm ? If so, would this cause heat/noise issues ? thanks zakary |

I bought a Ministack from www.newertech.com. It is an external Firewire hard drive. You can use a 7200 drive in it. I set it up as my main drive. OS X is on that drive. I use my internal (slow) drive as my music storage drive.
To replace your Macmini drive, it will be expensive. It's a notebook hardrive. Cheaper to by a Ministack and no heat issues. With a 7200 drive inside the Macmini it will get hot. |
