“Apple has updated its Xserve RAID storage system, raising its capacity to up to 10.5TB [US$13,799] with the release of new high-capacity 750GB drives,” Jonny Evans reports for Macworld UK.
Evans reports, “Xserve RAID drives are hot-swappable. The system itself accompodates fourteen drive enclosures; until now the drives were only available in 500GB maximum capacity.”
“Apple will be selling the higher capacity drives separately, allowing customers of the older 7TB Xserve RAID to update,” Evans reports.

Where’s my 10.5 TB iPod?!?!?!?
We’re running one of the few XServe/XRaid setups in my agency, and it’s worked quite well. If one is interested in masses of cheap storage I don’t know of a better solution. We started with just over 1 TB and now support about 3 TB. We NFS-share the data to our Sun boxes. The downside? It’s so minimally demanding that we’re getting almost no support/maintenance experience! Now those Windows boxes, on the other hand, ….
This will be my first purchase when I win the lottery. It will be my new multimedia server for my house!
That’ll hold a whole lot of free Viagra offers.
10.5 TB!?!?!?!?!
That’s A LOT of porn!
My right arm is getting tired thinking about it.
Cubert: Or it could be used to store one really, really, really, large, hi-res photo of Gisele Bündchen. One that could be seen from the ISS or maybe the moon.
At 14TB, the Xserve becomes self-aware.
Right arm? When I use my left it feels like another person is touching me.

That’s odd. When I use another person it feels like my left hand!
