Hard Drive Upgrade possibilities?

Will the new Western Digital Velociraptor 2.5 inch 600GB fit into this new mac mini? It is thicker at 15mm vs. the typical 9.5mm.

No, that's too thick to fit, it can be upgraded up to 500GB, or you can buy the server version, which contains two 500GB hard drives, amounting to a total of 1TB.

I'm pretty sure you'll be able to soon get a kit to do that though, like with MacBooks, to swap out the optical drive for an extra hard disk.

The optical kit should work with the mac mini as it still uses the SATA with the 12v and 5v pins for power so you can just do the same thing here
