It does work with my Mac mini but it is a slow drive, designed for backup purposes not really good for gaming

I own a Mac Ibook which is pretty old and it is amazing. I just throw stuff at it and it takes it and keeps it safe. It doesn't make almost any noise and runs automatically. I haven't stored games but I am pretty sure this can work for both things and even to load a full operating system from it if you ever get a mac. Its so much space I only have used like 2GB. This is the best out there, I recommend it.

I don't know how good a G-Raid mini is, so I can't respond to this question. I will say that I am very happy with my G-drive. It hasn't given me any trouble since I got it, and it is still delivering data VERY quickly. And, since I own a Mac, I'm happy about the FireWire.

Lisa, I'm sorry. I don't know. (I'm not much of a computer expert, and I don't want to tell you wrong.) when I started to play a cd I was really surprised that my new Mac mini top of the line didn't have a superdrive. I guess everything is going toward streaming. I think I would visit the apple store just to be sure. Those guy's and gals know everything about Mac. Good luck. I'm sure they can help you out!

I'm not much of a gamer, but with only 2 USB 3.0 ports on my MacBook Pro I use 1 port for external hard drives. That leaves only 1 available for other use. As this plugs into the SD card slot it leaves your other port free.Transfer times are fast, so I would use this for games etc. I use mine for video storage, photo backup, and music.

As long as the Mac Mini has SATA it should work. I am using mine in a similar product: Zotac Zbox.

Yes I believe so should all be in the specs. I have had no trouble with the drive, Seems very reliable using it with my macbook retina.

i am not sure with the space of the Mac Mini, but this fits perfectly in a 2.5 inch design space.. check out in google, "Installing Mac Mini Mid 2011 Dual Hard Drive Kit - iFixit" it show you how to install another HD on it..

Most likely you will not have a problem with it. External drives from reputable companies pretty much all are compatible. It's a great drive and I'm running it on a mac mini so you should be fine on a windows.

This drive only has a thunderbolt port, so if the game systems have that port then it's a go. This drive does not have a USB port

Yes, it should be. I'm actually using mine on a PS3 console and did not have any problems with it. You can also use it on an external 2.5 USB enclosure as a portable hard drive. go to apple support website for instructions on how to replace your hard drive.

I am not sure, maybe check there website. But I have been using this drive for three years in a gaming PC and it works flawlessly.

As far as I know what you initially buy, is it. I use my macbook for writing plays. No gaming or other memory suckers. Suggest you see what your own memory needs are. I believe you can also off load stuff to a portable drive. Hope this helped.

I have Mt Lion, I am not sure if there are any issues with previous OS's.. I can't imagine it being a problem, especially if you're using it as a sole hard drive.. I have the stock 1TB hdd as a secondary internal in my 2012 Mac mini, and if you pay attention to the OWC instructions on setup, it works like a dream. I can only imagine hardware not being compatible if anything. I really don't know 100%, but I assume you will be safe

I honestly do not know if this drive is Mac compatible. It was such a waste of money and a piece of garbage it hardly even worked for PC. What I can tell you is this drive: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008AJLPYS/ref=oh_details_o02_s01_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 IS Mac Compatible and works awesome on PC and Mac and Linux. Its a bit more money, but it really is worth it. Dont even bother with the one for your question, its not worth 1$.

It worked for my IMac I don't really know what about Mac mini. The specs for my IMac also said max per slot 4gb but I read 8 will work too and that's it.

Hi, there. Quite frankly, this item was placed in my closet not too long after I purchased it. Afraid it didn't seem very compatible or useful and I can't recommend it or even answer you question (I say that because Amazon sent me a not asking if I could). I really seemed nothing more than a very limited hard drive. I much prefer the roku or my teradrive I have attached to my mac mini.

I googled a few things that say it is, but I recommend you do some googling to make sure. Try entering "mac mini 2011 hard drive size" and see what you come up with.
