I'm disappointed. IMO, this seems to be yet-another overpriced
Mini that goes into the "why bother" category. It should be a fast
machine, but then it's got older i/o technology, circa 2005ish,
bolted on.
Only one Firewire port.
The 4 USB ports are probably again all the same bus.
No eSATA.
No USB 3.
No Blu-ray.
Will Apple ever support eSATA? The last Intel machine I have that I
can connect eSATA is a MBP 2008 with Express 34 slot other wise I
have the MDD and PM G5 and Ti Books So my music and movie library
transfers are done via eSATA. If I bend over for a new Unibody
machine I feel like I'm going backwards. What's the deal on USB 3.0?
will that be as fast as eSATA and FW? What may the SD port do other
than a camera card, it seems a waste of port space when a two dollar
USB SD adaptor will do it.
