Hi everyone,
would it be possible to replace the hard disk that comes with the mac mini (1.42Ghz, 512Mb ram, 80Gb HD, combodrive) with a new one that is 7.200rpm ? If so, would this cause heat/noise issues ? thanks zakary |

I replaced the hard drive on my iBook with an 80 Gb 7200 RPM Hitachi Travelstar drive and it is less noisy than my original drive and I haven't noticed it running hotter. As a matter of fact if it isn't the same temp it might even be running cooler. I did this to an older iBook so maybe it's not a good comparison with the mac mini but I've been very happy with the switch.
