For hard drive capacity measurements, 1GB = 1 billion bytes and 1TB = 1 trillion bytes; actual formatted capacity less. Maximum
capacity of 10.5TB achieved through use of fourteen 750GB Apple Drive Modules. Usable capacity depends on drive conguration
and RAID level.

Actual rates
will vary depending on drive conguration and RAID level.

Host operating system limitations apply.
5
Automatic rebuild requires
a designated hot spare; not available for RAID level 0.

Testing conducted by Apple in November 2006 using preproduction
Xserve RAID systems. Iometer (version 2004.07.30) testing of raw disk throughput on Xserve RAID in both Mac OS X v10.4.8
and Windows XP SP2 environments has shown that Xserve RAID is capable of delivering an average of up to 380MB/s read
throughput, and an average of up to 301MB/s write throughput, on 7 x 750GB and 14 x 750GB raw disk configurations utilizing
both RAID controllers. Mac OS X v10.4.8 Xserve RAID testing conducted using a directly attached Mac Pro 2.0GHz system;
Windows XP SP2 Xserve RAID testing conducted using a directly attached Boxx 7300 Series dual-processor AMD Opteron 2.6GHz
system. Since MBR disks support partition sizes up to only 2TB, sliced arrays were used for Windows XP tests. Performance tests
are conducted using specific computer systems and reflect the approximate performance of Xserve RAID.

For additional information
on Xserve RAID performance in an Xsan environment, please refer to the Xsan Deployment and Tuning Guide, which provides
examples for conguring and optimizing Xsan storage volumes, at www.apple.com/server/documentation.

The expansion
process is a background operation that may take several hours and aects overall throughput during the build.

A separate
AppleCare Premium Service and Support Plan must be purchased for each Xserve RAID system to be covered. To qualify, systems
must be within the one-year hardware warranty. Coverage ends three years after date of Xserve RAID purchase. Actual onsite
response time and availability of onsite service depend on location; see www.apple.com/support/products/premium for details.
Support also covers Apple-qualied Xserve RAID solutions; see www.apple.com for a list of supported third-party solutions. Local
telephone fees may apply; telephone numbers may vary and are subject to change.
