[QUOTE="kaidomac, post: 186621, member: 15110"] Yeah, once a computer hardware geek, always a computer hardware geek. Boy don't I know ;) Are you running your Porsche through Firewire? What are your actual burn speeds? I usually hit about 12x internal on my desktop stuff. I'm curious to know if an external drive can actually hit 16x or close to it. Also, have you tried using your external hard drive as a boot drive yet? From what I've read it significantly increases the speed of the Mini (like at boot time) when using a Firewire 7200rpm hard drive. [/QUOTE]
