It no different from OSX other than the server app gives you some more advanced administrative control if you want to use it as a actual server. If you can afford the FUSION drives go for that since the 7200RPM drives are no longer available. In the end 5400RPM drives will slow things down a little bit when loading stuff in and out memory, but its not impossible to use them especially if you aren't ever gonna be using more than a few tracks at a time. However if you can get a 7200RPM external drive i'd suggest getting one of those and using it as the recording drive. Fusion drives will work well sawwell, cuz as i understand it it's keeps the most frequently used stuff in the sad part of the drive so its gonna be like reading it off an SSD which is super fast. Also all mac mini's have two drive bays in there so you can put in a second HD after the fact if you feel comfortable with that. the only one sold with two HD's are the mini server though as you said.
