The drives themselves are standard drives, just make sure you buy the
same exact model as the ones you already have in the filer. The hard
part is finding the carriers. I don't know of any place to buy those,
although there must be someone that sells them. I recently installed
a replacement 9 gb drive in one of my filers and I only paid a little
over $300 for the drive. Netapp charges almost $2000 for the same
drive. Something tells me that the carrier is not worth $1600!
