Did you know Apple used to sell rackmount servers?

In today's #MARCHintosh video, I restore an Xserve G5, and explore what made these machines tick—and some reasons why Apple stopped selling them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kFnvZ4NWr00

@geerlingguy ha! Don't forget the storage RAIDs! Fiber channel. Impressive system.

@anton @geerlingguy …that never transitioned to SATA…

I remember sourcing 750 gig IDE drives for an Xserve RAID. I also remember setting an old one up with seven 2TB 2.5” laptop SATA drives on SATA-IDE adapters… Fibre channel and XSAN did make it easy to share with lots of machines.
