Review - Guardian Maximus RAID Drive Enclosure

Filed under: Hardware Reviews — George Starcher @ 4:18 pm

We received a very nice external drive unit from OWC (Aka macsales.com). It is the Guardian MAXimus RAID 1 drive enclosure. You can order either just the enclosure itself or with a variety of drive sizes. The unit holds two drives and sets up a mirror between them. Mirroring across two drives ensures your data is still accessible if one of the drives fails. It is also kinda fun watching the synchronized drive activity lights when dumping large amounts of data onto the unit.

The latest XBMC on OS X beta dropped last week, and it’s as stable and useful as ever. Dubbed the “throw out your Xbox” release, XBMC for Mac 0.5 beta 1 adds the key feature that finally puts your media center Mac under the TV where it belongs: remote control support. Let’s take a look at how you can (and why you want to) replace Front Row with XBMC on your Mac.
