What is the maximum hard drive height for installing two hard drives in the 2011 Mac Mini

In a few months I'll be buying a Mac Mini. I want to upgrade the stock hard drive with a Seagate Momentus XT Solid state Hybrid Drive(720 RPM), which is 9.5 mm tall.
I would like to add a second hard drive, a Seagate Constellation(7200 RPM), which has a "15mm z-height".
I want to use those hard drives so I can have a speedy Mac Mini, but also have a great amount of storage(1.75 terabytes). My largest priority is storage space, but I also would like to use 7200 RPM hard drives as speed is also a priority.
I would like to know if those two hard drives would both fit in the 2011 Mac Mini.
And also, what does "Z-height" mean in regards to hard drives?

9.5mm is the standard 2.5" drive height. This thread says one 15mm drive may fit, but recommends against a Seagate Constellation drive, due to the amount of power it draws.
One option would be to add an external mini-stack, then storage space becomes a secondary concern. If you want speed, install an SSD for the operating system then put everything else on secondary storage.

Yes. You will have to reformat it with the disk utility though.

What brand and model is the 1TB HDD and optical drive  used?

As subjected mentioned, if you ordered a Mac Pro with additional 1TB hard disk and SuperDrive, what brand and model do they come in?
By the way, any one the exact BOX dimension of the Mac Pro?
Thanks!

It varies. Mine came with Hitachi HDS721010KLA330 in bay 1. Others have reported receiving Seagates and WDC's. My optical is PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-112D.

Should I buy the 2011 Mac Mini?

I have for long been waiting to buy a mac mini, but I was waiting and hoping that apple would release a new model yesterday on WWDC. But they didn't, so now I don't know what to do.
Is there a chance that the Mac mini will be updated as well soon?
Or should I just get the 2011 model?
Please don't refer me to the "mac buyers guide", they only count days, not very reliable.
But I would really appreciate your opinion, should I wait or go for the current model?

If your current computer is intolerably slow an inadequate
for what you are currently using it for, buy now.
If your current computer won't do something that you
would really like and a new one will, buy now.
If you are satisfied for the most part with how your current
system performs and are just looking to upgrade, wait.
p.s. BDAqua, the lost Firewire and ethernet ports only
         apply to the Macbook Air and the Retina Macbook Pros.
         The "standard" Macbook Pros sill have all their ports
         with USB2.0->USB3.0 change only.

How can the optical digital audio input be enabled on the 2011 Mac mini?

I am trying to record signals output from my audio receiver's digital SPDIF output. I have a TOSLINK optical cable between the receiver's output and my MAC mini's audio input (via the TOSLINK to 3.5mm optical adapter). Does this digital optical input need to be enabled through the OS?

Also, make sure it is showing up in System Preferences->Sound->
Input as optical.
Also, make sure it is plugged ALL the way in. I know on
my 2011 Mini, even with just analog plugs, it is a very
snug fit and often it feels like I have pushed in all the way
when in fact it isn't and needs an addition pretty firm push.

How do I use an HDMI switch to my TV as a display with the 2011 Mac Mini?

AppleTV, PS3, DirecTV all work with the switch but the Mac Mini gives no picture or sound.

What TV and what type of input does it support...?
For an HDMI compatible TV, you'll need a > Moshi Mini DP to HDMI Adapter with Audio Support - Apple Store (U.S.) plugged into the Thunderbolt/Mini Display port and a good HDMI cable.
For other types of connections and connection methods, please specify the connection that your TV supports.

Will Any Usb DVD-RW drive work with the 2011 Mac mini?

I am considering buying a USB DVD-RW drive, and i wanted to hear from people with first hand experience of USB dvd drive support for Mac's I'm looking for a DVD-RW DL drive, so It can burn DVD DL CD's normal DVD's RW's etc. Things a modern superdrive would do esentially.
I have checked and i personaly think the Official apple one will hit my bank too hard, not to mention it doesn't bother me what It looks like
Can anyone recommend any Drives that work?(It will also be used on My PC and Macbook with a broken superdrive)
I was looking around the £15-£25 price range
I was allso wondering if a USB to Sata with a Sata DVD drive will work? As from what i can see nobody has tried it!
Any help will be appriciated.
Thanks, Scott.

Can you use PC-1066 memory in 2011 Mac Mini?

I have a Mid-2010 Macbook Pro 15" with the standard 4Gb of PC-1066 and I'm looking into buying the 2011 Mac Mini base model.
Now, if I purchase 8Gb of PC-1066 for my MBP, is the Mini compatible with the PC-1066 memory? I know both the MBP and Mini use the same form factor memory, but the Mini takes PC-10600. With PCs, this sort of backwards compatibility is pretty standard but I'm still pretty new to Macs and I'm not sure how fickle they are.
Anyone know if you can use PC-1066 in place of PC-10600 in the Mac Mini?

Works physically, but the 1066MHz RAM is a lower speed than the 1333MHz RAM that 2011 Mini uses.
Personally I'd leave the MacBook as is and order the correct upgrade for the Mini.

Using a HDMI Only Monitor with 2011 Mac Mini i5 2.3

Hi, Just Wondering if anyone has experience with this...
I have searched High and low and cannot work out if the issues with this are fixed or still happening to people.
I am looking a connecting the 2011 Mac Mini with HDMI port directly to HDMI port of a third party monitor but the ones Iam interested in (and are in my price range!) seem to have only HDMI and sometimes VGA also. If I connect the cable directly from the mac to the monitor are there issues with resolutions, wake from sleep, colours being bad/off etc? Is it recommended to only use DVI from the 2011 Mac Mini?
Just need to check this before buying a new monitor and I cant seem to find the answers anywhere so any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!
Steve

Yes, you can connect an HDMI monitor directly up to a 2011 using an HDMI cable.
Look at > http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/mac_mini_mid2011_ug.pdf in Chapter 1 on Page 15 of the User Guide.

4K videos stutter on 2011 Mac Mini with AMD 6630

I have a Dell 4K monitor and while it works perfectly with MDP to MDP cable @ 2160p and plays back videos up to 1080p with no issues, trying to play 4K movies or trailers results in choppy, video that is virtually unplayable. Is this a function of the video card or a combo of the i5 and video card. Of course videos play correctly on my Windows gaming laptop.
Cheers,

From the 2011 Mac Mini Tech specs:

Works with almost any display or HDTV.
Thunderbolt port with support for up to 2560-by-1600 resolution
HDMI port with support for up to 1920-by-1200 resolution

Top memory bank is not working on 2011 mac mini. Checked the ram stick which is working fine.

Hi all
Been using my 2011 Mac Mini since October 2011 with no issues at all. upgraded the Ram (2 x 8 =16gb crucial ddr3 1333 sodimm 204) which worked flaulessly since early 2012.
last week while workign on some ram intensive stuff my mac froze and made some funky sounds (kinda like C3PO beat boxing) and then would not reboot and beeped at me 3 times. I looked that beep up and it indicated a ram issue. I took out the first stick (closest to the twisty lid) and the mac boots indicating an issue with the bank i guess not the ram.
What i want to know is if this is possible to fix or if i should just limp on with 8gb ram.
Thanks
Harry

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
If you have checked with both RAM modules that your Mac doesn't start up when a module is inserted in the first slot, this slot is damaged.
To replace the slot, the logic board has to be replaced, so it's an expensive repair. If you can live with 8 GB of memory, install only one memory module

I have a G5 mac using ver 10.4.11 and a newer mac using ver 10.8.4 these are networked. using the new mac i looked up my my photo on the old mac. It then said you need to upgrade your library which it did. Now the old mac can not open the photos

I have a G5 mac using ver 10.4.11 and a newer mac using ver 10.8.4 these are networked. using the new mac i looked up my my photo on the old mac. It then said you need to upgrade your library which it did. Now the old mac can not open the photos and say that I need to upgrade my I photo to a newer version. The old mac has no more support from apple in software update so I am not sure where I should go from here. can I use new soft ware with the old mac

The other part of the upgrade message was a warning that once you upgraded you would no longer be able to open the library with the old version which is exaclty what you did and what happened when you choose to continue
The iphoto library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of iPhoto. Your photo library will not be readable by previous versions of iphoto after the upgrade. The upgrade process may take several minutes depending on the number of photos in the library. Cancel or upgrade.
So now your choices are to not use iPhoto with the previous version using it onky with the newer version, restore your backup from before you did this upgrade or purchase iPhoto Library Manager and use it to rebuild the library using the older version of iPhoto (instructions are on their web site) thereby downgrading it (without projects)

HT1752 I need to transfer files from an 'original' iMac to a brand new one. The old Mac has no keyboard or mouse. Could it support a current wireless keyboard and mouse?

I need to transfer files from an 'original' iMac to a brand new one. The old Mac has no keyboard or mouse. Could it support a current wireless keyboard and mouse?

Assuming that "original" means a G3/CRT iMac, not wireless. The G3 iMacs didn't have Bluetooth. The good news, though, is that any standard USB keyboard and mouse will work with them, even the ones designed for Windows that you can pick up for ten bucks or so.

Is the mac mini server the same hardware as the other mac minis (except for the quad core i7 and dual hard drives) with different software or is it configured differently?

I have a mac mini with an i7 dual core processor. It is perceptably slower than my macbook pro with a quad core i7. Does the mac mini server have the same hardware configuation as the regular mac mini with server software or is the hardware different (aside from the i7 quad core and dual hard drives)? I want a mini with a quad core i7...

Your assumption is correct. The server does however only
have the Intel HD3000 graphics like the base model with
no option, at this time, for the discrete graphics chip. So,
depending on what you are using it for, that could be a deal
breaker. Remember that your MBP does have a discrete
graphics chip.
I have a 2011 Mini Server connected to a Thunderbolt display
that gets used as an engineering workstation and general
personal use (some photo editing, LP restoraton, general
internet browsing). You simply just not enable any of the
server services. I find the combination to work quite well
for my purposes. I also have a 13" 2.7 GHz i7 Macbook Pro
which is pretty much strictly for work. As far as CPU
power it is pretty much equivelent to your Mini. For the most
part I find the Mini does outperfom my MBP. I heavily use
Parallels and Windows7 virtual machines, so the more cores
the better.
So, If you do a lot of CPU intensive stuff that is multithreaded,
the Server may help. If it is graphics intensive and your software
heavily leaverages the GPU, you may actually take a hit on
performance.
