Yes they are.  Apple says so:

	http://www.apple.com/xserve/raid/

	The elegantly-engineered companion to Apple's highly-regarded
	Xserve line of server hardware, this cutting-edge,
	self-contained storage solution holds up to 14 hot-swappable
	Apple Drive Modules --- a phenomenal 2.52 terabytes of data ---
	in a rack-optimized storage enclosure.

Check out Apple's site for more details.
