2010 mac mini to replace 2007 imac, upgrade advice

[Yvan256]

Nope. The Mid 2010 mini is, in fact, SATA 2 (3.0 Gbps)

I guess I should have checked before posting. Here's what my mid-2010 Mac mini is telling me:

NVidia MCP89 AHCI:
Vendor: NVidia
Product: MCP89 AHCI
Link Speed: 3 Gigabit
Negotiated Link Speed: 3 Gigabit
Physical Interconnect: SATA
Description: AHCI Version 1.30 Supported

i'm using a 13" 2012 macbook pro right now, i5 with 6gb ram and a 240gb ssd.

it not super fast but fast enough for me and i use it here at work everyday.

considering what the mini is going to replace it will be faster.

dag and drop, animations seem ok to me.

el cap is fine and good but somethings in HS I like.
the fact that folder always at top in finder (just like windows) is one thing I really like.

I do like el cap and it does just work.

That is already available since Sierra (10.12).

not in same way.

in el cap can sort by type, folder at top.
but not in same way as sierra and high sierra.

yes your right but I'm just a little fussy.
