Wow, its meant to be slightly ummm satirical however if a disk array can take a hit from a bullet and be fine than it has excellent redudancy and stability, you guys obviously know nothing of storage and storage management.

There's a lot of half truth comments here -

1). XP is more than just a rebadged Hitachi. HP and HItachi have had a technology relationship for over 10 years now. Many of the Hitachi developments in the XP started with HP.

2). True that there is a part of the XP that can sustain a bullet but not because there isn't anything "vital" - it's because everything is redundant so when the bullet took out half of the boards in the XP, the other half kicked in.

3). And yes, we really did this.

Can I just make the little point this product is in fact made by hitatchi, HP just slaps a HP badge on this and sells it at a mark up.

this actually happened my mom told me bout this she works for hewlett packard and she didnt get to do this but the engineers found a certain point in the computer so it wouldnt damage any vital software

The best part of this video is that the XP12000 is really a rebadged Hitachi Tagastore
