Quad Core with Hard Drive Upgrade

[drpje2000]

I plan to purchase the Mac Mini Server with the Quad Core processor. I was thinking of ordering the twin 750 GB Hard Drives instead of the stock twin 500 GB drives. Will there be a difference in fan noise or heat compared to the stock version. I will also upgrade the RAM to 8 GB. I will use the computer for FileMaker Pro database, internet, streaming videos and music to my Apple TV, and Handbrake. Thank you

Not enough additional heat that it will matter or cause the fan to run irregularly.

Thanks for the reply phillip. Are you happy with the performance of the server with the upgraded hard drives. Do you know what brand they are. I was concerned with the fan noise and temperature.

I believe that they are WD Scorpio Black 7200 RPM 2.5".
