Hard Drive

A larger hard drive gives you more space for data and applications. Choose the right capacity for you (options available depend on the Mac mini model you choose).

Learn more

The larger the capacity (in gigabytes, or GB) of your hard drive, the more space is available to store your files and applications. A typical application today may take 10 to 50 megabytes (MB); photos may take up about 2-4MB each; graphics files can occupy more than 100MB; and video files are often many gigabytes in size.

What hard drive capacity is right for you?

Select the standard drive capacity if you're storing text documents, email, and a regular-size photo, music, and video library.
Upgrade your drive to a higher capacity to give yourself more room to expand your media collections and store even more documents.

All Mac mini models include standard Serial ATA hard drives with data transfers up to 300 megabytes per second. All hard drives run at 5400 revolutions per minute (rpm). Your hard drive will come already formatted with the Mac OS Extended file format for efficient storage of your data.

Note: For hard drive capacity measurements, 1GB = 1 billion bytes; actual formatted capacity less.
