Hey all... setting up my new M1 Mac Mini now, but wanted to share my setup. It’s still downloading all my files from the Dropbox cloud, but so far it’s working as planned.

I purchased a maxed out Mini (2tb, max RAM).

I purchased from Amazon one of those usb-c hubs (on the top of the photo) that I placed an 8TB SSD in for all my client files synced from Dropbox. I use the 2tb native mini drive for apps.

On the bottom is an OWC miniStack I found on Amazon. It came with a 4tb 3.5 7200rpm drive which I immediately replaced with an 18tb hard drive to house all my old files and photos from about the last 20 years instead of having old hard drives laying around like I have been. Only downside is that it’s USB 3.1 but it’s just archives so I don’t care.

I’m a graphic designer but haven’t used any apps yet as I’m still downloading files but thought I’d share. My new $10k Mac Pro will be up for sale soon :)

I’m also attaching the mini to the Mac Pro 6k display.

just thought I would share!
