"Small and cute."? Yes, that's critical.

And that my friends, is exactly why Apple sees no need to update the Mac Pro.

Time to move on.

That made me laugh. I also don't understand the concern about 16GB being cheap. It should be cheap on either one. It's only expensive if you go back to 2006-2008 models with FB dimms.

Can I ask which USB3 card is working for you. I bought two usb3 SSD cases for the mini and they are much faster than FW800!

Also, the mini was sadly a little quicker but rest assure the MP is the work horse. I think in a nutshell that's where I ended up!

I got a 2 port one from owc. I'll get the exact model for u when I get home. It works perfectly. Just powering a simple external 3tb drive for time machine purposes.
