Mac mini – Mac mini (Late 2006) 1.66GHz Intel Core Duo, 2GB RAM, 60GB, Mac OS X Server 10.6.2 But, to address what we set out to find, if you’ve got a good backup plan in place, the size and speed benefits of a RAID 0 seem to be justified offering nearly 2x the performance in both sequential tests, a small boost in Random Read and nearly a 50% gain in Random Write. The Mac min Server however is much faster even with a single drive. Even though the old mini didn’t come anywhere near saturating it’s limited 1.5Gbps SATA bus, I don’t think it helped anything. I don’t know if that’s the drive or the bus or something else but would love some comments on that. But it’s still slower than a production Xserve box with an SSD.

And that’s what makes it feel pretty sporty compared to a regular HD. The MacBook Air w/ the SSD drive puts up some pretty solid numbers in the Random Read area. But if you’re supporting a workgroup of more than a handful of people and providing a broad range of services, it’s the way to go. It’s no surprise that you get what you pay for and the Xserve with RAID 5 Donkey Kongs the others in all but Random Read, although not by a huge margin. We threw the Xserve SSD in just to see if the MacBook Air SSD performance was hobbled at all. All machines were tested after being rebooted, and, except for the Xserve with SSD, all servers were running a minimum set of services. We did 5 passes to try and even out any big anomalies. We ran the Standard test using transfer sizes ranging from 4KB to 1MB and taking the average.

But unfortunately the developer’s support forums have been offline all week so we’ll go with it for now. That would really be a drag if all this data was not valid. It says it’s Leopard compatible but there’s no mention of Snow Leopard. So we pitted the mini against itself and several other Macs for good measure. We also wanted to find the baseline speed of a non RAID setup. We wanted to know how the redundancy and reduced capacity of a RAID 1 compared to the speed and size benefits of running a RAID 0. It ships with (2) 500GB hard drives but it’s not configured as any kind of RAID. Mac-fusion has a new Mac mini with Snow Leopard Server.
