    Bit pricey?

    USD 5000 @ 146G @ 2 disks (raw w/o RAID) for SCSI/SCSI w/ max 4 Disks
      -> 2 more disks fit

    Apple Xserve RAID:
    USD 6000 @ 1TB @ for disks (raw w/o RAID) for FC/SATA w/
      -> 10 more disks fit

    Methinks, there is place for the price of an FC HBA somewhere in there.

    Question is more of whether to buy Apple storage for non-Apple servers,
    as the management goodness fades pretty quickly if you don't stay within
    the cult completely. ;)
