I’ve got three of these and they’re work’n gooooood
come Tuesday, these will be obsolete. Apple will intro a consumer-based xserve with the processor and capacity needed for large HD movies.
The name is xserve mini.
you heard it here first.
I want one and don’t even have a mini.
The 0GB firewire is one slick little hub!
I have just spent most of my evening puging the video conent from the meagre 250GB HDD on my iMac(when I bought the iMac, this drive seemed huge).
I think it is time I invested in some more storage, but will be waiting until the Sept 12th announcement before I decide which is the best route to take (i.e Firewire drives or networked storage)
They work great and look great even without a Mac mini to stack on top. I have one sitting on top of a Power Mac G5 for use as backup storage. The concept of a hard drive external case that doubles as a hub for USB and Firewire is very useful. And it has intelligent features like automatic power-on/off when the Mac is off or sleeping. Amazingly, it’s smaller than most 3.5″ external drive cases.
