I actually wish we could get our Dells with the option for SATA instead of 
SCSI, we don't need the extra expense, and that is what it is these 
days... But then again I took it easy on the Dell and only speced it with 
the 5 client version of 2003. The OS X sever that comes with the Xserve is 
unlimited. I also speced these as entry level rack servers. I've had more 
SCSI drives fail this year than SATA in our servers and RAIDs... 6 SCSI 
drives in the last 6 months and 0 SATA drives...
