2011 Mac Mini - Is SSD worth it?


If I am using an external drive to store music files, what is the rationale behind upgrading the mini's internal hard drive to SSD?

Well, by getting the conventional drive out of the same box with the CPU in it, you're essentially removing all moving parts from that enclosure. With a SSD (and now that they've inexplicably excised the optical drive), suspect that there are no moving parts left at all; everything will be electronic, nothing mechanical. Hence, a more inert box.

Whether this makes a lick of difference sonically, I have no idea. But there's at least a plausible theory behind it, no?
