Will help you connect a FireWire peripheral thru the thunderbolt port, in case you do not have available ports.

No it does not. I looked into a cord adapter, saw the reviews for several and actually went and got a PCIe Firewire card for my desktop

Your Mac mini should have 4 USB3 ports and 1 800 FireWire port. For USB, the answer should be yes, 2 ports on the Mac mini (1 used for each hub). For FireWire, you will need adapters. The FireWire port is 400 (6 pin) on the hubs and 800 (9 pin) on the Mac mini, so 1 800 to 600 (9 to 6 pin) adapter will allow FireWire to work on one (1) of the hubs. You will also need a thunderbolt to FireWire 400 (6 pin) adapter for the second hub's FireWire ports to work as well. Caution, not sure if thunderbolt to FireWire adapters pass power to the hub, so FireWire devices will most likely need their own power source.

There is another enclosure by Acomdata specifically for PATA drives. It only supports USB2.0 connections, not Firewire.

Don't know the answer to the first question but it is bootable, but I was only able to boot via USB, not FireWire.

NO - It only has one port - it needs to plugged into a hub. Not like the older USB & Firewire Pro readers that I loved that stacked so well!!!

It does have firewire 800 so that was good. I have not upgraded to Lion so I cannot answer if it works with Lion, but you could contact WD and they would tell you.

It has a FireWire 400 out, I had to get a FireWire 400 to 800 adapter to be able to hook it up to my imac.

I used one of these enclosures today ( an older generation ide version) The drive drew too much power from the single usb cable, so it needed a usb power cable as well. (Standard usb on one end goes in computer, the other end is a power tip.) I thought they were generic. I had it from another old enclosure. (Drives used to take more power so often came with more power cables), generally if they require over 500mA (look on the drive), it can't be powered by 1 usb port alone, I believe. Not sure on firewire, I think it can handle more power.

Not sure where to get one but it does have an eSATA port and 2 Firewire 800 ports you can use also. I would email the support at G-Tech for assistance.
