I upgraded my Mac Mini a while ago to support two 1 TB drives (IF171-005-2), and I am now running out of space again. I have two spare 9.5mm thick 2 TB drives, I could use, but that doesn't increase the capacity much. However, Seagate is currently manufacturing 3, 4, and 5 TB drives, but at a 15mm thickness. What is the drive thickness limit for this Mac Mini? 9.5mm, 12.5mm, 15mm, or 19mm? Does the limit change if there is only one drive?
