What I do want is the ability to put multiple drives in the case. If I were to
get a mac mini, then I'd need to buy another box for external drive storage.
I'm not terribly space limited, and if I can get 8 cores of performance for
about the same price as 4, that would be a bonus.
So you'd rather a box 10-15 times the size so you can fit the drives
inside? Six external drives and the mini take up less than a third the
space of my PowerMac G5 (same form factor as the Mac Pro). What's the
value in that?
when we went through this in a previous thread, there was a hypothesis that
keeping it all in one case might actually have some noise, power and cost
benefits versus externals; i think the Mac Pro power supply might also be more
reliable than most external drive power supplies; i have a "drive farm" and
small form-factor computers myself, but i am open to the idea of Mac Pro being
a better choice for some people
