Apple tech specs say it's capable of 2x 2560x1600 but with no mention of how: I have not tried with a second monitor but IIRC running two monitors 1920x1080 should be fine. I run an old Dell Ultrasharp 2560x1440 over mini displayport but every now and then the Mini won't wake the monitor up from powersave. Thanks in advance for everyone's time and help, it is greatly appreciated!ġ+2: I don't think it's possible to run dual 27' at a high resolution using DP and HDMI but I might be wrong. So, if anyone has any recommendations for NON-SSD (Traditional) large drives, please let me know. Question - Is this a good plan to everyone? I really don't have the $$ for a 1-2TB SSD unfortunately. I was planning on getting a 1-2TB drive and using that for all my media (movies, TV shows, music, photos) and anything that is not app related. And then wanted to get a large NON-SSD (since they are cheaper) for the secondary drive. My question, I wanted to run an SSD as the main (primary) drive that will have MacOS and all the apps installed. I did something similar with my macbook, with replacing the optical drive with a 2nd HD.

I want to do the 2nd HD expansion upgrade as well so I can have 2 drives in my machine.

What's the max size monitor I can run? Can I run a pair of 27' monitors without any issues?.

Is it better to get a 'y-adapter' and have one cable coming out of the thunderbolt / mini-display port going into 2 separate monitors?

Is there a preferred way to run a dual monitor setup? I see that the thunderbolt / mini-display port gives better resolution options than running straight from the HDMI port (2560 x 1600 vs.

I have a few questions as I'm not super familiar with everything: I recently picked up a Late 2012 Mac Mini from a friend, as I needed to replace my old MacBook Pro (2009 model) that I was using as a desktop replacement.
