I guess Mini is the expectation, but it's really a "oh no" feeling to buy something running 2 year old hardware for that price, and for a server it also lacks dual drives (and no quad-core since 2012).
- danieldk 10y agoThey used to sell a server version of the Mini (discontinued in 2014). However, I guess you could attach an overpriced Lacie Thunderbolt RAID array to the 'newest' Mini ;).
- dijit 10y agoNot sure if it's still available but you can definitely buy a server version of the mac mini which has 2 drives. I have a standard desktop mac mini which has been fitted with 2 drives by using this kit[0] so it's certainly possible. The issue I have is that I don't like running anything mission critical without ECC memory.
