I have used my i7 Quad Mini with a 7200rpm Black Scorpio at first, then with a Samsung 840 Pro
and now Iīm using it with a Samsung 850 Pro and I definitely can confirm from my personal experience
that it gets less hot with the SSDs, itīs even a slight difference between 840 and 850.

I really recommend a 256GB Samsung 850 Pro for the OS drive in a Mac Mini!
Itīs enough space for the OS drive, itīs less than $190.- now at Amazon (which is affordable IMO) and
itīs the best "behaving" and working SATA SSD by far. Itīs noticeably better even than the 840 Pro. Really worth the money.
