Bulk Storage on the Cheap – by Allister Jenks
When I bought my Apple Silicon-powered MacBook Pro in late 2020, I wasn’t sure what I’d do with my 2018 Mac mini. My overriding thought was it would be useful to keep around as a server, but… what would it serve? I’ve traditionally sold all my old Macs to help defray the cost of my […]
