The slots r comfortable enough that u can put the back and cover in the same slot w the cd without wrinkles or tearing.

You may want to look at the Skinomi TechSkin protector, as it has a skin for the back of the mini as well as the front. Not the easiest thing to put on, but looks great, and really protects the machine (plus has a nice grip feel).

I've found included ones pretty good. I only needed one longer one as my case is pretty tall, with power supply residing at the bottom. So had problems reaching to the top, for the disk player... So, sorry can not exactly answer your question.

I got my cover for the website of the Mac, everything from there is more trustfull. Get the more expensive, because they are the best.

for everyone this data will be of interest: https://www.backblaze.com/blog/best-hard-drive/these are big samples, 2014 data, and the models of HGST 4TB drives are outperforming others in terms of reliability as well as price/perf

We own two of these large holders. The material of the back portion of the sleeve the disc slides into is an inexpensive black cloth-like material. The material reminds me of the inexpensive grocery or promotion bag material. It is soft enough to protect and not scratch our disks. We have been using them for year with no new scratches or issues. There are slots to place discs and papers on both sides of each page. I hope this helps.

There is plenty of room for normal Backups using Blue rays. Also the restore from Blue ray is also dependable. Normally I use a large removable Hard drive for this process because I can Back up and restore whole drives or clone them. I hope this helps.

I want to preorder too, but want to check it out myself before I do so. Bestbuy, Costco, MS Store will also sell these so I'm sure there's going to be a lot of places to buy it from. Maybe MS Store might offer a student discount, or a cleaner Windows with same price. Costco might have it with some other bundle, maybe a carrying case, or some small accessory, just like how they sell WD Passport external hdd with carrying case bundle. I'm going to be patient because I am very picky person on buying tech stuff, and I hate buying and returning stuff even if it is free.

There is some "good" padding, but I would suggest a hard case as a combo. Those together and even a high drop to a hard floor would protect the corners/monitor,etc. my daughter is brutal on electronics. I bought her everything I could find, screen cover, keypad cover, the hard case and the Plemo on Amazon for less than 50.00. If you own a Mac, well worth it to protect a very expensive investment.

It is :) I've that hard drive too. The only thing is that you will have to take the internal rubber protectors off if you want the drive to fit well.

They provide something called Seagate Dashboard which is like a menu. From there you can have the drive do backups as well as post every picture backed up also posted to Facebook.

If you are working with Windows I recommend NTFS but FAT32 will be compatible with almost everything else. Hope this helps.--Ed

Unless you need super fast access or archival protection for your collection I would use a mechanical HDD. The extra expense and smaller capacity of the SDD would be a limiting factor.

Thank you--the "bootable sd cards" sounds like a more appealing alternative. I'm not wild about the idea of having an external CD/DVD drive--kind of defeats the purpose of this highly portable option. Thank you!

You can download most software now or buy an external dr for about 50$. Not putting in the drive cuts down the weight and the price.

Confusing right? They sell just the hardware and shell. You have to buy the drives. I went with WD Red series. I would recommend you buy two drives ; one to make a mirror backup of the main drive. If yuh have a lot of home videos, buy two 3 TB drives or higher. My analysis suggests that this is the best price point. It is, overall, a $500 investment. But, it's worth it for pictures, phones and computer backup.

Finding a cover that works is the biggest P.I.T.A. I bought one that was close and kinda rolled the top up a bit. You can but one from the same company that will fit but it is not cheap.
