Belated Happy Birthday Greg!

Then I guess Steve will need a semi.

Yep I agree. When I bought my mini I went with the spinning disk because I did not consider the SSD price/performance ratio very good at the time. I didn't really need the performance and still do not. But now I agree with Dan since prices have come way down and my experience with SSDs, especially in my little Acer notebook, have been nothing short of astounding. My next mini will have an SSD OS drive if for no other reason than for future proofing.

Glad to hear you are feeling better Nate and that is a big stone!

Shhhhhhhh! Don't tell Brent.

My point exactly.

My Synology NAS with WD red HDs sits right behind me at my desk and is extremely quiet. Even at night when I am the only one up I cannot hear it even when I am not wearing headphones. I do not think I would use current generation SSDs in my NAS.

If you have a reliable network you can use airplay to play audio on other airplay compatible devices. This is what I really like about it. I have the Mac Mini in the living room system but can listen to that music in my home office (airport express), the family room (Marantz AV-7005), bedroom (ATV) or anywhere else on the local network (iPad, iPhone).

External thunderbolt or USB3 drive?

Maybe he just considers it a small price to pay for his happiness. No big deal I guess.

Not to mention the fact that when you buy shit like a Lambo, you are obviously compensating for something. Should we speculate on what that might be?

Congrat Jack and congrat Melody! [momvoice]So when are we going to see some little PostJacks?[/momvoice]

Happys Birthdays Guys! :jbl:

Except for the SSD that is what I have and I do not regret it one bit. Best move I have made as far as music listening.

Let me put it to you slowly and in small words F-U-C-K O-F-F.

Great news on the move Steve. Also echoing Nate's sentiment Mike.

^^^ This.

Happy Birthday Scott!

Happy Birthday Justin!

Belated Happy Birthday David!

I loved those commercials and Mars Attacks. RIP Slim.

Nice! Happy anniversary.

Yep, the only time we eat at the Golden Arches now is when we are on the road and there is emergency food crankiness that needs to be quelled.
