i am looking for an external hdd for my mini, one that matches it's footprint. I want to purchase from a canadian retailer so any info in regards to online stores or physical stores in the ottawa region would be appreciated.
thanks

I have a Newer Technology miniStack I purchased from MacDoc. Works wonderfully and looks great (I have a picture posted on flickr here). Mine's a first-gen machine. The newer ones also have ports on the side for easy access.

Whichever one you choose, use the firewire connection, clone your internal drive to it and use it as your boot drive. The slow hard drives in minis (4300 rpm in first gens) is the biggest performance bottleneck. You will be amazed by the performance increase by moving to a 7200 rpm drive.
