Mac Mini HDD,,, can i be changed?

hi all!

im thinking about getting a mac mini (1.42, 512 RAM, BT etc etc etc)...

but 80GB of HDD aint enough.. can you put a larger HDD into the Mac Mini? and if so.. what type, and max size? :bone:

Thanks in advance

you can, though I believe it uses a 2.5 drive instead of a 3.5, so a laptop hd would fit, just have to find one that suits your needs.

wow.. fast

ok ill try and see if i can find a 2.5 HDD....

heh.. kinda double post.... its hardly worth it... i can only find a 100 GB... meh..

yea, thats not much of an improvement, so it may not be worth it depending on your purpose, but maybe get an external hd?

100gb is about the biggest 2.5in I have ever seen, I would say just get an external, it would be cheaper and faster

guess so... but then im short on firewire port... need one for my ipod.... i know .... i COULD just take the cable out.. but... who wants to do THAT all the time?

They make firewire hubs... I've never used one but I don't see why it wouldn't work.

.... they do make FireWire AND USB hubs right?,,, cuz i could use one of those... im a USB freak... :bone: i think i have 7 or 8 USB thingy's.. and only 4 USB ports in my PC

yes they make both USB and FireWire hubs. They might even make combo ones.

thats what i need.. a HUB with Firewire and USB in one hub....
