This is great news for me, I'll put on in the server in my room right next to my 50in OLED tv.

Sory for the sarcasm and my picture, I'm just a little in denial about the whole HD DVD thing *crys*

Good thing I already have a ps3.

I don't think a half-assed pun is worth having a misleading, incorrect headline.

Wow Apple has formed another partnership... this definitely goes against the Apple culture.

Except their alternative is hideous compared to Apple's Xserve RAID.

did Apple force you to buy Xserve RAID specific pre-filled drive sleds on this one too? i know it is incredibly annoying on regular Xserves not being able to buy empty sleds... and they only have 3 spaces... not 14.

Now now. There hasn't been a confirmation from iGod (Jobs). However, this can be a good thing as Promise is not a bad RAID product, it allows for admins to add "their own" drives and not "proprietary" Apple Drive+RAID sleds. Heck, you can get the 16Bay Vtrak e610 w/FC SAS-SATA support plus sixteen 300GB SAS 15K drives for less than $14K and running 3TB @ Raid level 6. Try that with current Apple RAID box. (SAS far more reliable over SATA drives). Maybe Apple is listening and not locking us into fixed RAID products. Although, I do like the previous RAID admin software and pretty green-blue LEDs...say it ain't so Apple!!!
