In Reply to: The new Mac Mini is out posted by LWR on October 16, 2014 at 12:39:47:
I look forward to inmates who use the Mac mini as a server commenting on the new lineup. Specifically, would they suggest up to 16 RAM? Go with the fusion drive or the 256 SSD? Is a faster processor needed or the baseline Haswell enough? With the Thunderbolt 2 ports, is there a need for Thunderbolt backup drives or maybe use a Thunderbolt-FW adapter to a FW drive?
Those of us who have been sitting on the edge waiting for the update could use their guidence before we make the move.
