HP’s StorageWorks XP12000 is bulletproof — they checked

Every so often I see something I can’t resist posting about - like this:

If you’ve been looking for a server solution that can stand up to the odd gun fight or three (haven’t we all?), HP has just the thing for you. See, they grew tired of just tossing around the term "bulletproof" for their half-million dollar StorageWorks XP12000, and decided they’d pop a .308 caliber bullet through it to prove their point.

OK, I get the point.  I used to work on servers and they were called bullet proof, but I’d nver actually fire a bullet into them to prove it….I guess HP decided to try it on one of their disk arrays.
