  • I agree with Peter on the external on firewire, all they are saying is that the bundle is a Mac Mini with 1TB of storage, no mention is made of internal / external, and if it's internal then they would have to cover the warranty because the HD isn't "user replaceable" in a mac mini, thus voiding the Apple Warranty. —  MacDailyNews
