These were 2009-2011 mac minis (the previous generation). Hard drive failures and complete freezes were the major problems we saw. Freezes were random but clustered on the same set of machines. Over time they got worse. We never found what it was exactly (except the hard drives), and of course, replacing components is not a quick easy job when it comes to Apple.


It is tough to replace the drives. Furthermore the good CPUs in the Mini are hamper by the slow 2.5" HDD's. But with SSD's they're great.
