It also comes without an internal optical drive but there are external options available. A Thunderbolt port is also included along with HDMI ports, FireWire, USB 3.0 and others. It comes with a lot of connectivity options that make it a good device to work with especially with its customizable nature.

Storage

The device is shipped with a 1 TB Serial ATA (6Gb/s) hard drive for storage with a storage speed of 5400 RPM. The main surprising fact is that the previous server model was shipped with the same storage capacity but at a faster rpm, thus allowing for faster read and write speeds.
