J.F. if you can find a Mac mini with a true SSD and not a Fusion Drive, I'd go with that instead. A Fusion Drive combines an SSD and a traditional spinning hard drive into one volume, but it makes for two possible points of failure instead of one, and it's slower than an SSD by itself. The one in that listing looks like a custom made one the owner put together. He probably did that as a cost savings measure years ago, but SSDs have come down in price substantially and they're much more reliable than HDs.


I recommending buying the smallest amount of storage you can get if it's a Fusion Drive and then replace it with a true SSD later, or just buy it with an SSD to begin with.


Good advice thanks for taking the time
