Wow, really 'cheap' RAID storage solutions, where everything is redundant. And it uses Ultra ATA drives each on their own controller so you can cheaply expand with UATA drives for a fraction of the SCSI price. And the whole thing is easy to manage, cause its from Apple.

Uhh, EMC has been doing this for at least 3 years, and their cost for a 14 tray EIDE RAID/SAN/NAS enclosure was around 19K, with drives.

It's easy to manage, and works with all operating systems... Where is the "bargain" or differentiator? Just because it's apple, doesn't give me any real information.

If you only want Direct Attached Storage, (DAS) then look at these...
