Wish there was a wireless version *with that carabiner clip hole.* Obviously it would be bulkier, I get that, a battery and router require room, but I think keeping a similar but thicker formfactor would be tottaly doable. I'd pay a premium for the wireless feature on one of these. (I know there are other portable wireless SSDs including ones by SanDisk... that's not what I'm wishing for. I know, first world problems.)

Same predicament here. Only thing that would be comparible to the internal storage would be either the Samsung X5 or the LaCie Rugged SSD Pro, both of which cost about the same as just buying the Mac Mini with the same amount of storage. I'm leaning towards the Sandisk Extreme Pro, as I don't need all the speed and it's nice to still be able to use the Thunderbolt power and not require any power brick.
