Mac Mini FireWire Hard Drive Performance

Mac Mini FireWire Hard Drive Performance

I am amused at how many people are still fawning over the Mac Mini. It lacks memory, has a 5400 rpm drive and limited expansion capability. I can put together an x86 system for the same money as an upgraded Mini that will have greater disk capacity and performance.

Rant over.

This is a good article on how to upgrade the Mini using an external Firewire drive and the benchmarks that show a 75% performance improvement. Nice job.
