Apple Mac Mini "Core i7" 2.6 Late 2012 Server Specs

Mac Mini - BTO/CTO - Macmini6,2 - A1347

About This Mac

This device is a BTO/CTO device which is nearly identical to MD389LL/A. We have listed this device separately as it has been configured with an upgraded processor when compared to the base model. This has been done to make it easier to catalog as well as easier to read.

The Apple Mac Mini Core i7 comes with a 2.6 GHz Intel Core i7 processor and an Intel HD Graphics 4000 for its graphics support. 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 dual 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.
