But there are a lot of stupid people out there.<br><br>You can get a 3ware 9650SE, for the Mac Pro, for less than $500.  Battery backup for it is like $125.  And you get more internal SATA ports or run it externally to a multilane enclosure like the Sidecar.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Sean O]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 7th 2007 7:36PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Apple offers PCI Express RAID Card in Mac Pro]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/07/apple-offers-pci-express-raid-card-in-mac-pro/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/07/apple-offers-pci-express-raid-card-in-mac-pro/</guid><description><![CDATA[The Mac Pro desperately needs a video card update.
