My Book Studio Edition WDH1Q10000 - Hard drive - 1 TB - external - FireWire / FireWire 800 / Hi-S...

Much more cost-effective way to add storage to a Mac Mini vs. paying ~$100 for an extra 100GB.

And with firewire 800, the transfer rates are probably fine for most applications (vs. the built-in drive).

(If you have a mac that supports firewire, I'd avoid the cheaper usb 2.0 drives, since FW800 is more than 2x faster...) Here are some good charts:
