I also added a third external hard drive for the sole purpose of storing recorded television content. For the third drive, I opted to get the NewerTech miniStack V2 external enclosure which utilizes the older PATA interfaces (the V3 supports SATA). I had a spare 500GB IDE drive lying around which made the miniStack V2 the perfect fit for the drive. I’ll perform a full writeup later on. Here are pictures of the drive enclosure and setting up the drive.

The drive is also designed to match the Mac mini - allowing you to stack the Mac mini on top of the hard drive as pictured here. The V2 has a couple of ways of interfacing with the Mac mini. I opted to connect the miniStack V2 to the Mac mini via a Firewire connection.
