Base Mac Mini + 8GB RAM + Samsung 830 256GB ... Decent Setup?


base mac mini (2011) - $570
samsung low voltage 8gb ram - $60
samsung 830 256gb - $400

i'm not looking scream, need low power secondary desktop. don't know mac minis , forgive me not searching, sata iii compliant?

also, there significant amount of tinkering required replace stock hdd?
 

that nice low power, cool running solution. samsung 830s fast, not fast sandforce 2200 series drives. however, real world difference negligible.

both sata ports on 2011 mac mini sata iii 6gbps.

top drive easy swap. need remove wifi plate, , fan cowling. of course, swap hardware off original drive.
