[X4U] Mac Mini HD

[John McClernan]

Paul,
I added one of these to my Mini. It stacks nicely with the MacMini  
because it has the same form factor, so it doesn't change the  
footprint on your desk. The 250MB is $170US, the 320MB is $200US and  
the 500GB is $300US. Those models have both USB and FireWire. If you  
don't need the extra USB ports, there are 2 other models with just  
FireWire:  160GB and 250GB for $120US and $150US, respectively. If  
you are not in a hurry, they sometimes show up on sale. I found mine  
on sale at dealmac.com

Here's the link, scroll to about the middle of the page:  http:// 
www.lacie.com/products/range.htm?id=10033

There are several other companies that make the same kind of  
stackable companion drive for the MacMini. One is Newer Technology  
and I think that some of their drives are a little cheaper than  
LaCie. They also have a 750GB model. There are others and I'm sure  
you can find them online if this interests you as an alternative to  
replacing the drive inside your Mini.
Cheers,
John
