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! -- David H.
