For your independent survey. With NetApp *supplied* memory in our F330 filers over a three year lease, we had one reboot where the engineering team wishes us to clean and reseat the memory. We had eleven F330 filers in production at one time and currently have four running now which are due on lease return this year. I will leave the statistics to you.

But if you could get the data from all customers and somehow verify the source of the memory in them, I think you'd see a difference. It just stands to reason. Kingston sells memory to Netapp that has a certain known possibility of failure. Kingston sells that same memory to you, the consumer. Netapp does additional testing and gets some memory to fail before selling it to you, the consumer. Statistically the memory you get from Netapp has to have a lower failure rate. If the testing didn't do anything, why would Netapp bother? The same goes for the disk drives.
