One of the major assets of the cheese graters is the internal drive bays. (Here I'm disregarding the G5's, and the newest re-issue of the form.) All of them support 4 SATA drives with ease. All of them support 6 SATA drives, with varying amounts of fiddling around. The oldest ones support 8 internal drives, if two of them are IDE, with even more fiddling around.
That's without even touching the expansion slots. With those you can do SATA/eSATA out the wazoo, or add ultra-speed SSD resources. Internal expandability is where the trash cans fell flat. If you think of them as fat Minis (Maxis?) that's a pretty good description. Not really "pro" at all, and why Apple seems to have returned to the form. I think the newest one looks even more like an actual cheese grater! -- Jim _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
