your model mac mini uses the IDE/ATA type of hard drive. Those, i
believe come only for the 5400 rpm speed. It is the same type of
drive used in laptops, a 2.5" drive, not the 3.5" type.
for the other option you suggested, there are some adapters
available, one quick look resulted in these solutions...
NewerTech 9-pin (FW800) to 6-pin (FW400) connector adapter.
Sonnet Technology 9-pin male (FW800) to 6-pin female (FW400)
connector adapter.

System hardware:
Mac Mini, 1.42 Ghz, 1 GB RAM, 80 GB HD
LaCie 250 GB Mini-hub, FW 400 & USB
One of my HD's (I assume it's the internal itself for the
Mini) has begun to make an audible 'click' sound and
then puts up the spinning beach ball accompanied by
a system stall, which repeats often.
I think I need to replace the internal drive for the Mini.
( 1 )
What ATA disk-diameter and spin-speed do I need to
shop for when shopping for an internal HD?
...[or]... (perhaps a better remedy)
( 2 )
Browsing/shopping for a new Mini, I find that a new
Mini has FW 800 and USB peripheral connections,
but no FW 400, for which I still need for some of the
peripherals I am using. Is there an adaptor out there
to use with my FW 400 add-ons that I can search for?
TIA~
