Is there a way that I can disable the internal hdd? I would like to be able to shut it off and leave it shut off, until I re-enable it. So far, I have just been unmounting it every time I boot up. |

Why would you want to? I guess if you are desperate you can open the mini and unplug it. |

In Linux and Windows, hardware devices can be disabled, so I figured that the same could be done in OS X. Perhaps I should research how Unix handles this. |
