I'm basically wondering whether or not people would rather have a larger SSD (32-64G) or a large external HDD like a 250,320 or a 500G.

I am currently using a 16G SSD and a 80G HDD,thinking about upgrading to a 320G,but saw the new SSDs on mydigitaldiscount.com and it got me thinking. I however,am still leaning more towards the bigger HDD tho,to rip movies onto.

I rip my movies to a 16 GB SD card, it can hold 22 full length movies. The 32 GB SDHC cards are slightly cheaper than the SSD PCI-E cards, but with slower transfer speed. Using external hard drives give the most storage space per dollar and faster transfer speed, but I prefer my Mini's storage to be all self contained so there's nothing extra to lug around when I take it out of the house. I have a full size 3.5 inch 750 GB drive at home when I need to access other archive files with the Mini.

Seems kinda redundant to get a 2.5 pound mini laptop then lug around external storage. Stick to the internal storage, then if needed, serve data on a VPN from your home computer and bingo, saved space.

^^^ What Hosh said.

I currently have 8gb + 16gb SDHC card in my Mini. In addition, I have VPN set up to my home computer (500gb internal + 750gb external). Best compromise imho.

I want a small external drive basically to import photos to....
the shq jpgs or raw files from my cam are over 10 meg.... the gigs disappear quickly.
