Technical Specifications

Xserve RAID combines leading-edge storage technologies for superior capacity and data protection in a 3U rack-optimized enclosure.

Fast throughput and flexible configuration options make Xserve RAID ideal for businesses and institutions that demand high-availability, high-performance storage. With up to 10.5TB of capacity and innovative tools for remote management, this breakthrough RAID solution is easy to configure, easy to maintain and powerful enough to meet your organization’s growing storage requirements.

The innovative Apple-designed Xserve RAID architecture combines affordable, high-capacity Ultra ATA drive technology with a dual 2Gb Fibre Channel host interface for fast, reliable data access. Each Apple Drive Module uses a dedicated drive channel, maximizing the 400MB/s Fibre Channel host connection.
