Extra HDD storage for the Mac Mini

As an AppleĀ® Mac mini owner who was running low on HDD space, I needed a storage solution that was functional and fitted the Apple Mac Mini look.

This is what I found...



The LaCie mini Hard Drive & HUB, is specially designed to fit perfectly with the AppleĀ® Mac mini. Now you can connect all of your hardware peripherals at once - like your iSight, mouse, keyboard, web cam, camera, video recorder, speakers and other USB hard drives. Its sturdy metal casing provides advanced heat dissipation and its unique four-corner crown is designed to provide cooling airflow between stacked drives to protect against overheating.

In the end I decided on the 500Gb model for around AUD$370.00, which will be more than enough to store my music & video collection.

What are your thoughts on home digital storage solutions?
