All Mac Minis have FireWire - the new ones have FW800. In any case, the server class mini has two internal hard drives which make them amenable to mirroring. The Mac ZFS port limps on in any case - though I've not managed to spend much time on it recently, I have been making progress this week. The Google code project is at http://code.google.com/p/maczfs/ and my Github is at http://github.com/alblue/ for those that are interested.
