Hello all...
I have a 2007 version mac mini:
Model Name: Mac mini
Model Identifier: Macmini2,1
Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed: 2 GHz
Number Of Processors: 1
Total Number Of Cores: 2
L2 Cache: 4 MB
Memory: 1 GB
Bus Speed: 667 MHz
Boot ROM Version: MM21.009A.B00
SMC Version (system): 1.19f2
Serial Number (system): YM8052EPYL2
Hardware UUID: 00000000-0000-1000-8000-0016CBAEAB84
I am planning on upgrading to 4gb ram and am considering upgrading the internal Harddrive.
I am currently using a seagate 1.5tb external to run osx leopard, am planning on upgrading to snow leopard and want to free up space on my external and start using a larger internal.
My question: I don't understand the difference of Sata speeds and am wondering if there is a limitation to what this system is compatible with. I understand this system will work with a Sata or Sata 2, but everything i see lists as Sata with GB/s and i am ignorant as to what this speed refers to and if certain speeds are not compatible with my processor.
if someone could help it would be much appreciated.
