![]() The miniStack combines powered FireWire 400 and USB 2.0 hubs and external hard drive in one convenient package. The miniStack footprint (6.5 x 6.5 x 1.5 inches) is the exact same as the Mac mini, making them stack perfectly. I've been testing Newer Technology's new miniStack v2.5, a combination hard drive and USB/FireWire hub that starts at US$105 (80GB) and goes up to US$230 (1TB). Previously I used a garden-variety external FireWire drive which worked but was difficult to connect and disconnect because my mini is in pretty tight quarters. The Mac mini is only available with a 80, 120 or 160GB hard drive – which is hardly enough space for a serious media center. It's great for watching movies, viewing photos and listening to music but the problem is the mini's anemic hard drive. Like a lot of people, I have a Mac mini connected to my home entertainment system.
