1TB Mac Mini?

Software company SeeFile may have exposed at least a part of Apple’s plans for the new Mac mini. According to a recent press release, the “New Apple Mac Mini hardware [will] be supported by revolutionary SeeFile web sharing DAM software.” The SeeFile software is used to build a no-fuss, digital asset manager accessible via a web browser and starts at $499US (£333).

However, towards the end of the press release, we find this:

Press leaks suggest a possible 1TB Mac Mini

“Complete bundled server systems including a Mac mini server with 1 terabyte of storage are available starting at $1,495 (£1,000). The hosted Web service will be available starting in February 2009 at several pricing tiers, starting at under $50 (£30) per month.”

We can only assume that SeeFile will be selling minis bundled with their software and not Apple. Many people use minis as home servers, and with the rumor of huge storage capacity of 1TB HD all but confirmed by this possibly unwanted press release, building a very similar, web-accessible setup should become a piece of cake!

I will keep you updated as soon as we hear more info from the Macworld 2009 Conference.
