A: SSD stands for solid state drive, (No moving parts) - think if a larger 'Thumb' drive. and External Drive can be an SSD type (no moving parts) or 'disk type' (older technology where the data is stored on disks that spin around) . You can get a lot more capacity with older Disk types. I like SSD type drives, much quieter and I can get the storage I need at reasonable costs. Also, they travel well (because they don't have any moving parts, less opportunity for something internal to move or damage the drive.
A: Yes you can use it with time machine on Mac.
A: You can format it for both Mac and pc and there are multiple cords to accommodate

A: With this particular drive, if your Mac mini has a USB-C port then this drive should be able to work fine. Once you plug it in, there should be a window that opens with the contents of the drive and a "Start Here Mac" application icon you can click to install the necessary software.
