Thanks AllGold.
That brings up a question I've had about storage.
It's been my plan to get a server model that allows for two internal drives. For sure one will be an SSD. I'm not sure about the other. It seems that with FW or USB 3 it wouldn't create too much of a bottleneck to use an external drive.
Presently I use two 1 TB drives, one for backup, and they're not full. So, I would think that there won't be any problem with storage with the Mini.
I do wonder what strategy would be my best choice for the size of the SSD? If my finances would allow, would it be ideal to use two 1 TB SSD'S or better to use a smaller SSD as the boot drive, a standard drive for storage and an external drive for backup? Of course, money is a big issue for me and everything will depend on what I can get for my Mac Pro.
Now, I'm still stuck with the same big question, will it pay to wait for new versions of the Mini?
