As far as testing does, I really doubt that NetApp can possibly perform any level of pre-sale burn-in testing to justify more than 400% markup on RAM, more than 200% markup on hard disks, and more than 300% markup on an empty DEC Storageworks shelf.
The ironic thing is, of the 16 Netapp-supplied drives and the 12 third-party ones we are using, two drives have failed so far (since April): both were Netapp drives. :-/ At least the replacement drives were shipped promptly.
