The Slingbox pro HD will use H.264 with the CABAC option for even greater compression efficiency. To my knowledge, apple's H.264 uses CAVLC (less CPU intensive at the price of compression efficiency) instead of CABAC to ensure smooth playback across the whole apple product range. That might be a problem.
Apple's MPEG4 implemantations (be that part 2 or part 10) have always been somewhat inferior anyway.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm looking for a solid state drive, around 32 to 64GB, for use in my web server. The drive will contain my web sites and the operating system, either Windows Server 2008 R2 or Ubuntu. Large storage is handled by a separate RAID array, so capacity is not an issue. Rather, I am looking for the fastest, longest-lasting, and most reliable drive under $150 that is suitable to my application. Any thoughts? Thanks!"
