[QUOTE="stuarta99, post: 1613649, member: 325714"] Hi, Hoping someone can advise on a setup to use a mac mini as a file server with the data on external storage. We have held of purchasing in order to wait for the new updated model, only to find that they have replaced the quad core processors with dual core. My main question then is what would be a recommended CPU - 2.6 i5 / 2.8 i5 / 3.0 i7 or older 2.6 i7 Ram - 8Gb / 16Gb HDD - 1Tb SATA / 1Tb Fusion / 256Gb Flash / 512Gb Flash or older SSD We have decided on the Lacie 8big for storage which is Thunderbolt 2, even though I appreciate this will be restricted by the Gb switches, however rack mounted storage is preferred. Therefore the mac mini will only be doing file sharing, no mail server but want capacity for the future. Would be grateful if someone could please advise [/QUOTE]
Verification
How many occurrences of a n-u-m-b-e-r between "d" and "f" in this example...(sdgs6ngklu3gd#f9%)?
