After having discussed both internal storage options and third-party external Direct-Attached Storage options for Apple’s portable products, it’s time to turn our attention to the desktop Mac Pros. We begin our examination of professional desktop storage by looking at the inside of the Mac Pro tower, and what kind of storage is possible without having to add external hardware of any sort. A number of areas discussed here, namely software-based RAID 0 striped volumes and RAID 1 mirrored volumes, build off of lessons learned in Part 2 of the Storage Primer.
