Xserve RAID is a attachment mass-storage server that was offered by Apple Inc. Xserve RAID held up to 14 hot-swappable Ultra-ATA hard drives, and had a capacity of 10.5 TB when filled with 750 GB modules.
Xserve RAID did, however, have redundant cooling units and power supplies.
Due to the cross-platform support available, users do not need a Mac to administer the Xserve RAID.
Apple shipped a CD-ROM with the device containing the Xserve RAID Admin Tools, a Java software application that runs on most operating systems — including OS X, Windows, Linux, and Solaris.
Xserve RAID was available in models costing between US$5,999 and US$10,999[2][3] (later US$12,999),[4][5] plus configuration and support options.
