What an $18,000 Home Theater Looks Like

kgagne writes "Computerworld has a blog with video about an $18,000 home theater system that Intel set up at Storage Networking World in order to promote their new home server system. But what's really cool about this set up is that the server was connected to a 24" iMac, an Apple TV, an Xbox 360, a Wii, an iPod Touch, a Nokia N810 mobile Internet tablet, various cameras and a 15" wireless digital picture frame. The server was streaming all the various feeds to a top-of-the-line Pioneer Elite 50" plasma TV. The Intel reps said the high-definition movie downloads, which could be browsed through a menu, were as high quality as those from a Pioneer Elite Blu-ray player they had set up."

Funny error in video

I just watched the video and laughed. The presenter needs to understand RAID before explaining how it works. Do you see the problem with the following points?

System will hold up to 4 1 Tetrabyte drive in a RAID array.
With 4 1 Tetra byte SATA drives it will store 4 Tetra bytes of data.
If a drive fails, it can be replaced without losing data as it will rebuild the lost drive automatically.

Hats of to Intel for that one. I wish my RAID could do that.

I hope you weren't trying to make some point.
