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."

    at $11k ?

    right. considering I still have to buy a system to hook it up to.

    there are other, cheaper vendors too. we purchased a system from qsol.com which was a very good price. for that $11k you drop on that xserver, you can buy 3.75TB of redundant space from qsol
