Although the Mini only came with 80GB, this has been OK for the short term and I'm just starting to look at options. Because I'm a curious sort, I dismantled my Mini to change the RAM and could see that a disk upgrade wasn't going to be too tricky. You could therefore look at an internal upgrade - the cheapest and neatest option. If this isn't your idea of fun, then an external drive would be even easier you'd be able to use either firewire or USB.
