Hi,
What's the current supported 9GB drive revision that works in the NetApp 630?
Also, can someone confirm if the DEC Storageworks shelf model SWXSS-22 shelf works in a NetApp 630? That's the Storageworks shelf that DEC recommends for their 9GB drives that are actually Seagate ST-19171-W's.
I just can not justify paying NetApp $3000 for a $1200 hard disk or $10,000 for 256MB of DRAM when it should cost no more than $1500.
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.
