Xserve RAID Driver Update 1.0

While I was in Software Update, I noticed there's also a driver update available for Final Cut Pro users who use an Xserve RAID.

Xserve RAID Drive Update 1.0 "reduces I/O WRITE latency by overriding behavior to periodically force the Xserve RAID to write its buffer cache to the hard drives. Lower I/O WRITE latency improves performance during video capture and is required to avoid dropping frames regardless of the video resolution used."

"Since the frequency of Xserve RAID cache flushing to the hard drives is reduced, it is strongly recommended that an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) be used with the Xserve RAID to guard against the possibility of data loss in the event of a power failure."

Sound advice, my friends. I don't use an Xserve RAID, so I'm going to skip this one... but please let me know what it breaks!

The update can also be downloaded from Apple Support.
