Agreed. We have no problem shipping shelves with specific manufacturer drives. A bit more work for us but aren't we supposed to be adding value?

John, Thats a heck of a comment there. I've seen many cases where Netapp shipped disks with known high failure rates. If this was something known or suspected I'd have no issues asking a vendor to do the same. I'd expect the vendor to comply.

There's only four drive manufactures now, Seagate, WD, Toshiba and Samsung. And I think they're mostly the first three...

They're idiots. Hopefully they're paying you enough to put up with their foolishness. But since they're going through you... they're not paying Netapp for support (either end of life or just cheap...) so they're being stupid.
But hey, just jack the quote 20% (or more!) for being such pains.
