ATLChris: REVIEW: Mini Stack v3 - 750GB External Hard Drive

  • ampcoder · 1 year ago
    You said you have the HDD split between Time Machine and Aperture, how much space did you give to each partition?
  • Chris Lentz · 1 year ago
    I currently reserve 100GB for Aperture file vaults.

    Some said the drive is noisy. Did you notice that?
  • Chris Lentz · 8 months ago
    I have not noticed it at all. The only down side I have with it is the
    blue LED status light is very bight. It use to bug me when my desk was
    in my room, but not a problem any more now that I have a proper office.

    Wow. Thanks for this great write-up. This is exactly what I need.

    Thanks for the review! Just what I'm looking for too! As I understand from their website, you can also buy just the empty case and can swap between your own hard drives when you want. This is what I need and seems more economical in the long run to buy several internal HD's to swap as opposed to buying a whole bunch of external hard drives.

    Thanks for informative review. How does fan noise compare to mac mini? Have you looked into getting really short cables to hook the mini stack to the mac mini?
  • Chris Lentz · 6 months ago
    I actually hide it out of view, so I tend to use some very long cables. As for the fan noise, I am not sure how it compares to the Mac Mini because I have never owned one, but I will say you can hear the fan when it revs up. But, overall the fan is not bad.
