[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1189929, member: 46727"] Replacing an internal drive in a Mac Mini is not an easy task but also not that difficult. The hardest part is getting into the machine. What I suggest is go to [url=http://www.ifixit.com]iFixit: The free repair manual[/url] and look up your model, then find the step by step instructions for changing the hard drive. Their DIY guides are excellent. As far as using an external drive instead, you don't want to do that because it would be too slow. Remember that data to and from an external drive moves at the speed of the external bus (USB or firewire). [/QUOTE]
