Hello,
I ordered a mac mini a few weeks ago and expect it to be delivered within 2 weeks. I would like to install a new, faster hard drive as soon as I get it. Does anyone have experience with the Hitachi 60GB 7200RPM? I am concerned about the amount of heat generated and whether or not the mini's cooling system can handle it.
Also, what is the best way to swap the drives? Should I look into getting some software and an external enclosure and cloning it? Or should I just pop in the new hard drive and reinstall? This is my first mac, and I will be giving away my current pc to my sister, so I want to go about this the right way.
The link to the hard drive is:
