If you still have your Intel mini, I'd use that. It will serve just fine, be low power, upgradable to SS storage and accessible to all your Macs, PowerPC, Intel and AS. If you want to use/experience the AS, you can still do that for your modern machines. I find it very handy to keep a modest AFP NAS up because of this hobby. Once it's up, it literally runs itself and is forgotten until I need it for something lol.Yes, you can connect to AFP on an M2 Mac, but you can't host AFP on an M2 Mac server.
I'm wondering if I have to go back to an Intel Mac Mini for my home server. I wanted the server to run fast on an SSD, and be low-power, low maintenance and very fast speeds. Is there any recommended Mac for that? The M2 Mini is great for blazing SSD speeds, but just can't deliver AFP...
