The 27” has a spare SATA bus that yours doesn’t-not an issue now that 2T and 4T SSDs exist. FW and Thunderbolt, USB 2, and was th first year of the SATA III 6G bus (for the drive only-the optical is on a 3G bus). These were great drives but generate a lot of heat and the iMac is an oven. Not one of my clients still has one installed. These usually have a WD Black and those drives are past end of life. if the price is good, I wouldn’t hesitate.Įdited by Mike Halloran ( 02/05/18 09:29 PM)ġT was the largest drive available in the late 2011. The MX300 is ok but is a little slower and has a 3 yr warr. The 2T is $499 on Amazon and has a 5 year warranty. OWC sells them with and without toolkits.Īs much as I like the Samsung 850 EVO, the new Crucial MX500 is nearly as good and quite a bit less.

They are not interchangeable nor are the optional (the software solutions cause the Mac to roar during startup and you have to control internal temperatures manually-not a solution in my book). In both cases, tools and the kits are readily available as well as the adapter bracket and special heat sensor from OWC. Late 2009–2011 use magnets and screws while 2012-on use pre-cut double-stick foam tape. I do this job one-handed (no joke-I lost the use of my left arm in 2009) but, if not comfortable with the idea, have it done. All are fairly easy to get into if you’re ok with tools and have a little patience. The other requires fast, reliable internet at all times-no thanks especially when storage is so cheap. This is not to be confused with using iCloud to share Contacts, Notes and Photos among your various devices-that works quite well.

Apple’s desire to have you store all documents and data on the cloud is just nuts for most of us. Hopefully it should be enough RAM for what you want to do then. Just my $.02 though, YMMV, I'm not trying to talk you out of it (really I'm not). Since I was only using the Mini temporarily, I didn't transfer all my plugins over, but I imagine using a lot of plugins could affect performance as well (especially "jbridging" 64-bit plugins as you said).įor just messing around with BIAB itself you should be fine, but for serious work I would consider upgrading the RAM. Switching from one app to another with 4GB was painfully slow, you could hear that little drive working like crazy to page all that VM to and from the disk.

I'm thinking a SSD would have helped a lot too, since IMHO that little laptop 5400 RPM drive is definitely the weak link in the Mac Mini. Where I really noticed the big slowdowns, (with 4GB) was when I was running both BIAB and Garageband, to drag and drop tracks from BIAB to GB (something I do a lot). I was forced to use my Mini exclusively for a couple of weeks about a year ago, while my main machine was broken and waiting for parts. You are exactly right Matt, as long as you are just running BIAB you shouldn't have an issue.

Optical drive for shipped versions of the Pro or MegaPAK version. Hard Drive versions of the EverythingPAK or UltraPlusPAK do not require any hard disk space when run directly from the external hard drive they are shipped on. (another ~90GB is required for the installation files when downloading the UltraPlusPAK or EverythingPAK) RealTracks & RealDrums: ~100-400 MB per setįull UltraPlusPAK/EverythingPAK when installed to internal hard drive: ~100 GB More space is required for RealTracks, depending on which package you buy. As it turns out, they’re not:Īt least 2 GB recommended for the main Band-in-a-Box® program.

It’s not as fast as an i7 for many tasks but it’s more powerful than the bottom of the line Core Duo versions that are past end of life for many apps-but not BIAB.Īs BIAB is still 32 bit only, the system and OS requirements shouldn’t be much of an issue. You didn’t Say what year yours is but any i5 Mini can run the latest OS.
