The Mac Mini I gave brother Bob has 2 500GB internal drives I ran mirrored. Made a huge difference. Tried just booting off one drive because recovery would be easier for a uh let's say Novice Savant like Bob. But the speed degradation was just too much to redid the mirror. The only work he will be doing is basically typing so the faster disk access will make the computer seem a lot faster booting, saving, and opening files etc. To me it SEEMED more than twice as fast mirrored. Didn't put a stopwatch on it though.

After talking to him this weekend...Even though he has been using computers for 15 years, has got no idea how to use Google. He just types in web site URLs and doesn't understand you can Google anything. That's what I mean by Novice Savant.

Gave him an old mac mini I had retired and was using for KODI because I just hated seeing him on a limited income spending so much money with Geek Squad to keep cleaning the virus and malware off his PC computers. He has had it for 6 months and is still using the PCs. I know because he asked me how to transfer the photos from his iPhone to his computer while he was here. Showed him by plugging my iphone into the usb port on my mac and the photo app came up with a screen of the new photos to transfer to my Mac.
