    Iomega MiniMax Desktop Hard DriveIomega unveiled the new MiniMax Desktop Hard Drive designed to complement your Mac Mini. The drive is stackable and closely resembles the Mac Mini itself. Featuring USB 2.0 and FireWire ports, the drive is available in two capacities, 160GB and 250GB capacities.

    The MiniMax, at 6.5" x 6.5" x 2", can easily be stacked on top of a Mac Mini which measures the same. Users starved for disk space due to the limited 40/80GB capacities of the original mini can easily upgrade to this drive, which offers 3-port USB 2.0 hub and 3-port Firewire hub.

    Thanks to the smart power switch, the drive is powered on/off along with the Mac Mini, while a combination of active and passive cooling inhibits noise from the drive. Bundled with the drive is Dantz Retrospect, a backup software for Mac users. Of course, Iomega's IAB Pro is included for Windows users as well. With the number of Mini clones out there running Windows, it's just as well.

    The 250GB MiniMax Desktop Hard Drive is priced at US $249.95, while the 160GB model is available for US $199.95. You can order them online from Iomega's website.
