Hello:
The MAC MINI Server has two 500 GB 7200 rpm drives.
Cheers.

Kevin,
I like your ideas on the third party options etc, seems practical and
something I'd look into. The Mini server particularly sounds interesting.
Other than saving on the screen, what differences would there be between
the MBP and the mini? I heard the mini and the imacs have just laptop
components in them anyway, but would they have better cooling, would they
be less well equiped for portable use etc? Basically, I'm thinking about
buying a laptop for using live for various stuff, but if it was as
portable, why not grab a mini server too, if nothing else, it would be
easier to disguise on stage without a screen etc.
Any thoughts? I'd just like to get the best bang for buck for something
portable and it makes sense just to buy apple even if I dual boot with
windows for the moment.
Brian.

I think either the Mini server or the mbp are great choices. On both
counts though, I wouldn't order any features from the apple site. Build
the machine to order and put the fastest proc in that you can, but strip
away everything else. Then, get some kingston or crucial ram, and either
a 7200 rpm hybrid drive, or an SSD. You can get these items third party,
which will make it much cheaper. The bottom of the macbook pro comes off
easily and you can get to the drives and ram. Not sure about the Mini,
but I've been told it's easy to crack into, especially the new one. This
is just my 2 cents, so definitely compare what you're reading here. Good
luck, and I hope you can use this advice here to come up with a machine
that fits your needs and your budget.
