How soon should we expect faster Fiber Channel cards from Apple?
Does anyone have any information about Fiber Channel cards from Apple that are faster than FC 4Gb?
Any insight will be appreciated.
Sadly, Apple has not provided a roadmap since.. maybe '89. No one knows. And if they did, they would be shot by the NDA police. If you look around, there are a few cards available from ATTO and other vendors and Qlogic has the 5800 switch. Promise (or Empty Promise as we like to call them) is probably stuck on 4 for a while. So is Active (although these guys may have the gumption to push the barrier). I would love to see different but I fear that we will likely make it through 2010 on 4 GB. The reason may be drive speed. The 1.5 TB and the 2 TB drives are not performing as well as everyone hoped. (The 1.5s were such as cluster that they are barely a viable SKU). And building a SAS array is just too expensive for the penalty of lower capacity. Plus, from what I've seen, 4 GB fibre has been adequate for nearly all solutions. Yes, I future proofed on new deployments with the Qlogic 5800s but I would expect our current storage to live a full three to five years before being replaced.
With luck, I am wrong. But I think this may also be an issue of the state of QuickTime and the Final Cut suite. Until those products move into cocoa, we are just not getting the performance that we hope for. No 64 bit on the apps. No grand central. No OpenCL. No goody goodness of the promise of 10.6. For that we need to wait. When it all hits, it will be big. But it is going to take time. The writing is on the wall.
Do your own research. Don't take the word of some random forums poster. 🙂 Hope this helps.
