I highly recommend the 1TB SSD. You can always add SSD drives, but since you cannot change them, good to have a bigger drive for system.
Hey Khoop,

You're a little more than a month into your Mac mini experiment. How's it going so far? Have you hit any major show stopping issues? I have the same 6-core Mac Pro you upgraded from. And I've been teetering back and forth if I should make the move.
