[QUOTE="SODworks, post: 1556326, member: 314146"] Thanks for the FYI Exodist :) It's definitely no SSD as the boot time is not as fast as my MBP with SSD. You're right about the Fusion drive, it would show up as one drive and I don't believe they make 500gb fusion drives. Because it is not a server, I can only assume that it is a 500gb HDD inside and that it had been partitioned by the previous owner. I only was curios to know as I have not owned a Mac Mini before and thought that maybe this was a standard by apple to partition HDD's on Mac Mini's. I also asked to know as I am thinking about installing 128GB SSD into it. Once you go SSD, it is really hard to live with a spinning drive again :( You just get so used to the speed I guess :( Thanks for your help! It was much appreciated :) regards, Robin [/QUOTE]
