Have a look at > How to use and troubleshoot FireWire target disk mode


and > Thunderbolt ports and displays: Frequently asked questions (FAQ)


To me, it seems like a lot of extra expense to buy a Mac Mini and only use it as an External Hard Drive?


Why not buy something like a Drobo, a Thunderbolt External Drive or a couple of large FireWire / Thunderbolt External Hard Drives.
