This 400GB Serial ATA (SATA) Apple Drive Module is made for use with the Xserver G5 servers. Each Apple Drive Module is equipped with 8MB of cache memory for boosting throughput in demanding applications such as video editing. On-drive cache accelerates read and write speeds, but offers less protection in the event of a drive failure. For this reason, drive cache is turned off by default in protected RAID configurations, while video-optimized RAID sets and RAID 0 configurations activate drive cache by default.
