We bought RAM and NVRAM a few months ago for our F220. Note these part numbers below are probably only good for the F220. Research before upgrading on your own! For comparision sake: NVRAM Dallas Semiconductor - 214-450-0429 Part #90-2229T-070 $84 per meg as of 12/9/97
We got the same part from the same place, and have been using them in our 220s for just about a year now, with no problems whatsoever.

For normal RAM, think very seriously before buying anything but Kingston. Normal RAM varies widely in quality.
I second this. We only use Kingston in our filers as well.

We just paid NetApp $4000 to up the NVRAM on our F330 from 2MB to8MB. That's over $650 for each 1MB SIMM! When I asked our Sales Rep about the cost, I was quoted the "We do in house testing" line. Anyway, two of the SIMMs we were sent were bad... Very disappointing. I think it'd work out best for everyone if they just published a list of "approved" vendors for memory and disk. The customers would get a better price, and NetApp would look alot nicer. jason
