The Iomega drive with 500GB is a prima external complement to the Mac Mini, and offers both a USB and a Firewire hub on the rear panel. Dimensions and appearance are matched to the Mac Mini, which I have to make the following concessions in comparison with my previous board (Iomega MiniMax 250GB): - In the 250-plate the housing color was quite the same as the Mac Mini, which is already now a little difference - The arrangement of power switch, USB and FireWire ports has been modified and is in practice not so easy to reach (power switch on the other side as MacMini, USB ports in the center, although one must often even think there - The repositioning of the components such as USB MacMini slipped on the hard disk, since a corresponding locking missing (had the 250cc record such tailor-made increases ...)
Better than previous plate: The 500 version is faster for an access (or turn off the Mac Mini) in the standby mode. The logically existing small delays when a new access (hard disk must now times not start up) I feel as perfectly fine - in many a review on the dive as a negative comment, but can now times do not change!
