Huge Systems MediaVault U320-R

摘要

Handing a RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) to a video/film editor to review is, well, asking for trouble. Editors can and will manage to fill up anything that you attach to their system if you give them a few days. When 600GB showed up in a G5-esque cheese-grater case, I just had to see how fast I could pack that thing to the top. Of course, all of us with "geek-butt" know, it's a piece of cake to gain weight, but losing it is no easy task. When you shed half your total storage capacity in one trip to UPS, the task tends to get put off a bit. So, before anything else, allow me to take a moment and apologize to the fine folks at Huge Systems for keeping the MediaVault much longer than I was supposed to. (Actually, I think we can work the word "much" into that last sentence about three more times.) But hey, I like to hold onto the good stuff. If a reviewer sends back the evaluation unit early, that's usually a bad sign.
