[QUOTE="hokiethang, post: 19788"] XServe RAIDs are actually just arrays of hard drives that are connected to a real server (most likely an Xserve) to serve as an extra storage device. Xserves can normally only hold 750GBs of HDs, yet with an Xserve RAID device that number reaches closer to 3.5TB of storage, which is way too much for most applications, but some require a number of these devices. the RAID is a separate device from the server, most of the time you have to have a server with a fiber channel card to connect to these storage devices. That clear anything up? if not, ill go into more detail when im not tired from doing work all day :-(. [/QUOTE]
