How the Luxury Industry is Using the iPad – Luxury Society – Blog
How the Luxury Industry is Using the iPad – Luxury Society – Blog. It is things like this that give Apples its deserved luxury status. I think a little of it is also wanting to seem “modern and creative” that using Apple implies. For some companies like Google using Apple is a security consideration.

WiebeTech RTX220-QR RAID: SSD speeds at HD prices
From the article “The price of the RTX220-QR with the twin 2 TB drives is 863.00, while the largest OWC SSD array twin 400 GB SSDs for a total of 800 GB RAID 0 costs a whopping 3,200.” It seems the major fault in this unit is that it can be lounder than other RAIDS when running so if it is in a back room that might work best.

Other good SSD options include this 1TB or this Micron.
