[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 987636, member: 24160"] You would get disagreement here from the great many of us that have seen significant speed improvements in boot times and application launch times by moving from 5400 to 7200 rpm internal drives. My boot time was cut by just over 20 seconds. Of course this will depend on which drives your changing from/to. Most users will see a much more significant speed boost here than they would from increasing RAM in the last few generations of Macs. This I would agree with since you have no eSATA connection on the MacMini. Your throughput speeds will be determined by the capability of the ports/cabling being used and not the read/write capability of the drive in the MiniStack. [/QUOTE]
