Faster Boot Drive for your Mac mini: Store more stuff! Connect more stuff!



News -- Discontinued

This page is left for the product information only. For desktop storage, please see ToughTech (the silver finish complements your Mac mini) and the RTX family.


Faster Boot Drive
Maxelerate boasts a disk read and write performance that is 30 percent faster than the drive that comes inside of the Mac mini. And because it's bootable, use it as a startup disk, taking full advantage of FireWire technology.

Thermally Engineered
Continuing WiebeTech's tradition of using intelligent metal design, Maxelerate is thermally engineered with heat issues in mind. Its aluminum design with fan allows for excellent cooling.

Store more stuff
Maxelerate holds drives up to 500GB. That's up to 12 times the 40GB or 6 times the 80GB internal storage that comes in a Mac mini. It gives you perfect growing room to edit more home movies, take more pictures, and listen to more music.

Connect more stuff
Maxelerate sports three daisy-chainable FireWire ports and a 3-port USB2 hub, making it an ideal central station for more hard drives, digital cameras or many other computer peripherals.

Free more space
Best of all, you can achieve this speed, storage and all of the new ports in a space no bigger than the Mac mini itself. Beautifully designed out of aluminum to complement Apple's design, Maxelerate fits perfectly underneath any Mac mini.
