[OT] Best Mac for Development?

Hi,

I’m thinking about getting a new Mac. I have a Mac Pro 2008 and wanted something as powerful as this machine was back in its day.

From looking at the Apple Product List, I’m a bit disappointed:

1.	The Mac Pro as no Hard Disk Capability in built.
	-I have a 8 TB RAID setup on 4 drives on my existing Mac Pro.

	If I went this route and wanted to maintain a largish RAID array, I’d have to get a separate enclosure and a Thunderbolt to SATA converter?

2.	Mac Mini - Can’t hook up enough displays - I have 4 on my existing Mac Pro and has the same problem with RAID Storage.


3.	iMac - Same as above but I get an extra Monitor I don’t need.


As it stands now, I’m wondering if I should either leave it a while or get a used newest old-style Mac Pro.

I wish they’d do a Mac Pro Jr that was based on the old style Mac Pro Cabinets.

IMO, this is the best home machine ever built.

Comments welcomed……

All the Best
Dave
