For the price you pay for these boxes, it would probably be best that you just get all Netapps parts/hardware. We have an F720 and yes, it was an obscene amount, but I would never go elsewhere for drives/etc. We have the hotspare kit as well. I'm sure if you mention it to Netapps that you're putting your own drives in you'll find the warranty goes out the door... > On Tue, 15 Jun 1999, Joe Mays wrote: > > Does anyone know of an oem source for scsi drives for use in Netapps > > Filers?
