[QUOTE="cherry_bomb, post: 1823049, member: 206606"] Thank you for clearing that up! I appreciate it. I had thought about buying an external drive over the weekend so will look into doing so now. I do plan to buy an SSD drive, just having a hard time deciding on one. As mentioned in my post in the prior page, what is the difference between a Samsung SSD and one offered by Mac Sales? There is a huge price difference. If I am paying for the quality, I don't mind because I consider the mini to be a good investment. If the processor is still considered relatively fast and the only thing slowing it down is the slow HDD, I am all for upgrading to an SSD. I would appreciate any insight you have to offer on this. I'd like to make the purchase and get going on the upgrade! :) The only Mac maintenance I have done is running Onyx Sunday or Monday as suggested by members in this thread. If there is other maintenance that needs to be done, I am happy to do it, just need to know what I should do. My time capsule running slow was just as an offshoot of this conversation, since I had been receiving so much help in this thread I thought I would ask for assistance with that as well. It has yet to complete a back up of the mini. My last back up was almost two years ago so I know it's long past due. If I don't need to mess with the thermal paste I am perfectly happy with that! [COLOR="silver"][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] It's been a great conversation and I appreciate you answering my somewhat lame and possibly redundant questions! ;D What are your thoughts on the thermal compound?
