beat that.

Jesse,
If they'll loan you one for a test period & that test works out, Maybe. Now
if your SAN vendor is worth his/her weight in salt then they'll have a way to connect
that Xserve RAID system into their SAN. That way you get the best of both worlds.

So a co-worker sends me an e-mail about Apple's just-announced Xserve RAID
with 3+TB for US $11K. After looking at Apple's page, I poo-poo it because
it's 7.2K spin ATA/100 drives, which I figure would lead to all sorts of
problems. I see today in Computerworld that it's being touted as "blazing"
