    Some Xserver Pron

    That setup just blew me away! What I could do with 156.8Tb of space. I'm not sure there is enough pron in the world to fill that hehe!

    pfft 156.8Tb is nothing...storageworks can do up to 332Tb of disk based storage (not tape)

    Apples offering is prettier by far though..

    Very good question, its unlikely to be bluetooth or wireless.

    This was in 2005 I'd imagine the same setup with 750gb discs would be quite a bit bigger
