Purely for raid 1, or separate extra storage. I'm always paranoid about hard drives failing (they seem to fail for me more often than for most). Or you can swap out the HD for and SSD. Apple, of course had options for all of this at build time, but the apple price is ridiculous. Kinda like how Dell charges. --Matt Ross Ephrata School District ----- Original Message ----- From: David Lum [mailto:[email protected]] To: NT System Admin Issues [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thu, 03 Nov 2011 06:20:22 -0700 Subject: RE: So, my Mac Mini server arrived today... > I don't know the difference between Mac OS server or client.
