I can't believe Apple discontinued the XRAID, I just finished installing Promise, Apple's recommended replacement for the XRAID, and it sucks. If you ever decide to install a rack mountable RAID system, stay away from Promise, try Winchester system or something else.
XRAID, in my opinion, was king and I don't know why Apple is dumping on their IT stuff.
Agreed. Great piece of hardware. Shame. Damn shame.
So companies are supposed to sign onto a product with a five figure price whose only image looks like a Photoshop job and there are no trade reviews?
I wouldn't diss that one. Turns out that this is driven by Alex Grossman, the guy that developed the original Xserve raid for Apple.
So there will be definitely the knowledge to take the product to the next level and as much as I like the Xserve Raid's (we have 7 of them), they definitely show their age in terms of speed & capacity.
Unless it's just some weird mistake, I am guessing a move this stupid had to be made by a kid. A son of an Apple employee between the ages of 12 and 25 is my guess. Any older and they are no longer a kid, any younger and they would be a genius and therefore more adult than the average 20 year old anyway.
I'm guessing also a male for much the same reason (level of maturity). Mom or Dad brought it home as a curio and junior sold it on eBay like the dufus he is.

Just to clarify: you're saying that males between the ages of 12 and 25 are the dumbest part of the population. Why not females? Where did you get 12-25? Why didn't you just go all the way and throw race into the equation?
FYI, Steve Jobs was in his early 20's when he founded Apple, and if I recall correctly, Bill Gates was 19 when he founded Microsoft. Who the hell are you, and what are you doing that makes you so brilliant?
/vent. Yeah, I know I've got issues; I'm a 21 year old who looks 14, so to this day older people continue to judge me and treat me like crap. People like you.
/vent for real this time...
I was thinking 43 year old suburban female. Sorry, I occasionally disrespect "kids" too like when I am hungry, behind them in line and want them to hurry up and order, but unfortunately you will get old too.
When you start building enterprise infrastructure solutions, you need to leave the pretty matching bezels behind and purchase a enterprise class storage array... EMC, NetApp, HP etc...

Same here. Big deal. The Muscat flavored KitKat bar I'm eating in Japan right now is more interesting.
Those are really good

It is just something cool to have for some people. I have a prototype eMac (with medimac.apple.com sticker). Again, just something cool to have.
