I seem to have a couple of items on backorder at Adorama. Their website
said they had a few in stock, but it turns out, that was in stock, but
not shipped. The salesman did, however, say I'd be third on the waiting
list and they expect to have them by next week. Now that I have my new
machine sorted out, it's time to offload the old one.
I'm asking $2,000 for the mini. I also have the 1TB fusion drive that
came with it, that I can throw in, or if someone asks, I can sell
seperately.
Mac mini (Late 2012)
2.3 GHz Intel Core i7
16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Intel HD Graphics 4000 1536 MB
S/N D2HL7001F9W2
It has two internal drives, a 2TB SSD and a 2TB spinny.
I had to do a bit of creative work to fit both drives in, the 2TB SSD is
a bit thicker than most SSDs.
The blackmagic speed test on the drives shows the SSD at about 480MB/s
write and 500 read and the spinny at about 92 write and 100 read.
This is the quad core mini, the following version they dropped it down
to dual core (WTF Apple?):
Model Name: Mac mini
Model Identifier: Macmini6,2
Processor Name: Intel Core i7
Processor Speed: 2.3 GHz
Number of Processors: 1
Total Number of Cores: 4
L2 Cache (per Core): 256 KB
L3 Cache: 6 MB
Memory: 16 GB
Boot ROM Version: MM61.0106.B0A
SMC Version (system): 2.8f1
Serial Number (system): D2HL7001F9W2
Hardware UUID: 61CAA285-EB34-5629-85D5-A7B5251B9CD7
It is a very nice machine for normal to moderate photo processing. It
has two downsides:
1) you can only drive one high resolution (2560x1440) monitor with it,
but with thunderbolt and HDMI it will handle a 2560 and a 1920 monitor
just fine.
2) All of the extra storage is through 4 USB 3 and one Thunderbolt 800.
If you have lots of storage for raw files and backups, and you don't
have a good NAS, then things can get a bit messy on your desktop.
When I bought it, I got a 27" Thunderbolt monitor to go with it, but
that won't work with my new machine. It has a chip in the glass next to
the camera and the insulation on the thunderbolt cable is cracking. I'm
pretty sure I have the original box for the monitor up in my attic, and
may even have the box for the mini.
Buyer pays shipping.
