But can it hold 24TB?

Can the mini?

It can with the Thunderbolt 2 RAID.

Did you miss that part of my post?

That is external storage. Can you detail a scenario where the mini can do something useful that uses that speed and capacity to it's fullest? The best I can think of is split the RAID in half and get half the speed transferring data from one partition to the other.

Or maybe transferring data to the second Thunderbolt 2 RAID while pulling video files from the first.
Even if it is a 2012 server with two internal SSD's in RAID 0, it will be about 50% bus saturation from the external to the internal. In that scenario, an iTrashcan with multiple TC controllers would be much better suited for utilizing an array that fast (assuming the array does maintain the full speed at more than 25% full).
