XServe RAID Finally Makes An Entrance

Posted by Hemos on from the growing-up-fruity dept.

Currawong writes "Apple's very delayed 3U XServe RAID box has quietly appeared on their web site with details. Most interesting being that it uses ATA100 drives, rather than the usual SCSI, making it a bargain at US$10,999 for 2.52TB, especially compared to similar devices that cost up to 10 times as much for the same storage capacity. In addition, ATTO announced at the same time a MacOSX only dual-channel fibre channel SCSI card."

  1. Late March by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0, Redundant

    They were announced earlier, and have been on the apple site for weeks now - we ordered one (along with a couple of XServes), and as of last friday the word from apple was delivery "late march". (This is presumably not a shipping delay, but rather when the first actual units are expected to be delivered...)

    I realize dupes are nothing new on slashdot, but: http://apple.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/02/10/ 1414229 This was ALREADY RUN on this very site, in this very section, on Feb 10, the day of Xserve RAID's introduction. This fact is also mentioned several times in the comments of *this* article.
