Just starting to work with one now, so I'll let people know what I
find. There has been
some talk that the XServe RAID seems more optimized for streaming
applications rather than
heavy random-access type applications, which really wouldn't surprise
me given where they

Actually you are both are right and wrong. The XRaid uses FibreChannel
to communicate to the host machine(s). The Raid controller is a
FibreChannel controller. After that there is a FibreChannel to
UltraATA conversion for each drive, separate ATA bus for each drive.
What I am curious about is

we checked a XServe/XRaid system some months ago and
especially the relation price/space/performance was OK
compared to a HP/Intel maschine. Tomorrow I'll try to
find the performance charts on my harddisc and post the
links to the list. You get a huge amount of raid-space
