Hi All

I'm looking to upgade from my old 2012 MAC Mini to a

Mac Mini - M1 Chip - 16GB RAM - 512GB SSD​

I do graphics work so Illustrator and photoshop and maybe looking to keep all my working files on a fast 2TB external drive. Can you please recommend a fast external drive, or should I pay more for the 1TB Mac mini and try and squeeze all my data on the internal drive?

I'm a bit out of touch on Mac hardware so I'd appreciate your thoughts.

Cheers

I now have a new Mac mini M1 16GB 1tb on order, too much work on to wait for the M2's

A last question on an external drive enclosure for a back-up if you will.

I nearly ordered this thanks to your advice

[Intel Certified] ORICO Thunderbolt 3 (40Gbps) M.2 NVMe PCIe SSD Enclosure, Aluminum External M2 2280 PCIe M-Key Adapter Case with 0.5m Thunderbolt 3 Cable - USB C Compatible (SSD NOT Included): Amazon.co.uk: Computers & Accessories

But this alternative seemed to get good reviews: any thoughts / experience on these two please before I buy?


Also; a decent thunderbolt to full sze display port cable? My Dell monitor doesn't have HDMI and a Windows PC is using the DVI port

Many thanks
