Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Apple RAID marketing?
So a co-worker sends me an e-mail about Apple's just-announced Xserve RAID
with 3+TB for US $11K. After looking at Apple's page, I poo-poo it because
it's 7.2K spin ATA/100 drives, which I figure would lead to all sorts of
problems. I see today in Computerworld that it's being touted as "blazing"
with a max thruput of 210MBps. Hmmmm...I know the mid-range FAStT SAN we're
looking at is rated at about 800MBps theoretical max.
Just looking for confirmation/rebuttal that I don't think it would be wise to load up an Xserve RAID with Oracle DBs -- even if the BAARF's nemesis is avoided.

TIA,
