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 |

It's totally possible to change the HD on the mini. It's tricky though. The enclosure system is with those funky clips, similar to the Ipod. You've got to know well what you're doing (and don't cry when you scratch the edges a little!!
 )as far as heat and noise... The mini is damn silent I don't think it should change anything. and as for the heat my guess would be that there is no problem with that. Considering that I had a 7200 rpm HD on my powerbook aluminium, which are as hot as hell with the original Hd's, and still ran quite ok... with no major issues at all.. very well... best. -------------------- Powerbook 17" G4 1,5 Ghz and LOGIC
