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 |

My only experience with changing out hardrives was on G3
power mac desktop from a 4200 to a 7200, end result computer burned up within one week major overheat it was a on a surge so that helped, lucky we did not burn the hosue down, A Apple certified tech did the work(on his own time) could have been a fluke, he blamed a hairball from our cat I cleaned the compartment a week earlier (it was clean and always has been clean and the G3's blew air out and did not draw air in be careful |
