Mac Mini HDD speed
I recently got a Mac Mini PPC 1.25 with a 4200 RPM ATA 40 GB HDD. Is there an advantage to putting in a 7200 RPM ATA HDD? I know they're a little scarce but if it increases performance it's worth a try.

Re: Mac Mini HDD speed
John, The 7200 RPM drives have faster seek times. There may also be a higher Bus speed and a larger buffer, making data access, transfer and use by software more rapid. So far as price, cyberguys.com has Western Digital IDE/ATA drives in 3.5" diameter. These have the 7200 RPM speed you're looking for and come in 160GB ($53), 250GB ($65) and 500GB ($85) capacities.

Re: Mac Mini HDD speed
My experience with PowerBooks was that going fron 4200 to 7200 had a noticeable increase in speed and a noticeable decrease in battery life. I think on a Mini you would like the results.

Re: Mac Mini HDD speed
Cyberguys also has 2.5" drives, but all of the drives in this size, IDE/ATA and SATA, are 5400 RPM. The 2.5"IDE/ATA drives are Western Digital and come in 80GB ($57), 160GB ($72) and 250GB ($88) capacities. Because of the smaller diameter, it seems as though 5400 RPM on a 2.5" drive would be roughly equivalent to a 3.5" drive rotating at 7200 RPM. Bus speed and buffer size are the same for both diameters. > The 7200 RPM drives have faster seek times.

It appears 2-3 panels into the install process: http://www.margnat.com/tech/Ubuntu/UbuntuInstallFlash.jpg Quote: "Ubuntu uses third-party software to display Flash, MP3 and other media, and to work with some wireless hardware. Some of this software is closed-source." I'm not yet up and running. Although the installation completed successfully I am not able to boot into Ubuntu due to an "Input/output error". I've posted a query on UbuntuForums.org .
