[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1523127, member: 46727"] I would stick with USB even though using USB 2 is definitely slower. And if you have external hard drives that support USB 3, at least you can use them with your Mini. Also take note that the newer iMacs, MacBook Air, and probably the upcoming MacBook Pro all have USB 3.0. Firewire is almost dead and even Apple has abandoned it on their machines. Thunderbolt would be the way to go if it wasn't so expensive to deploy. And it's future is still up in the air. MacWorld Magazine this month (August) has an interesting article regarding Thunderbolt and the fact that the new Mac Pro will have the newer Thunderbolt 2. [/QUOTE]
