Tired of the Low speed, Small capacity 2.5inch hard disk in your Mac Mini? Check out this non-destructive method of connecting a full speed 3.5inch Sata drive to your Mac Mini.

Basically, I hacked up a NewerTech MiniStack enclosure to hold a 250gb SATA drive, which is connected directly to the internal SATA connector in the Mac Mini.

Pre-requisites: Need to be able to handle a soldering iron without burning down your house, wield a hobby knife without cutting off your fingers, mad hot glue-gun skills are a plus, and the desire to increase the speed and capacity of your Mac Mini - all while keeping your warranty relatively intact- If that kind of thing is important to you.
