The mac mini uses a 2.5'' harddrive. I don't know of any WD Raptor drives in the 2.5" form factor. The other concern here is heat and power usage. WD Raptor 10K drives are power hogs, so the machine will probably shut down from overdraw.

In short, it won't work. Get a SSD or a 7200RPM drive.
I dont know of any 2.5'' raptors and it just would be more for a harddrive thats not visible and a waste too not see the inside.

And really a 10k RPM harddrive is just as fast as a 7200 RPM harddrive

And it may use too much power and shut it down
