[QUOTE="rachalmers, post: 1822720, member: 402263"] If you are going to SSD internal, just do one drive, but make it as big as you can afford. I’ve got a 1TB installed, but now want to move it to 2, or 4 if I can justify the cost. If you want 2 internals, make them both SSD. The cost is coming down all the time.use Crucial SSD as they are very good. If you are using HD’s for anything, make sure you use 7200rpm. Anything else will just be too slow. If I could afford bigger ram chips I’d certainly experiment :-) but hey, no need now, because the latest Mini is a real beast, and can be way upgraded. Just save up for one of them.start upgrading that. My next move :-) [/QUOTE]
