@John,
Actually regarding spinning disks, Samsung HDDs was bought by Seagate in 2011, so there's only 3 spinning disk manufacturers left. Of course, Samsung is still the vendor of choice (it seems) for SSDs...
@Steve: If you look at the output of (e.g.) "sysconfig -ba", you'll see a product ID, like "X287_S15K6288A15". If you look at the letter(s) after the underscore, you'll find the manufacturer:
_SAM... Samsung (SSDs) _SS... Samsung (SSDs) _S... Seagate _T... Toshiba _H... Hitachi (2 1/2" HDDs bought by WDC in 2011, 3 1/2" HDDs bought by Toshiba in 2012) _W... Western Digital (WDC)
And as mentioned by others, sometimes the same part number can turn out to be different disks. "Right-Sizing" disks is the machanism used, to be able to multi-source disks even from different vendors for same capacity 'parts' (i.e. artificially cutting down the size to something below the lowest common denominator). Search in the "qual_devices_v3 http://mysupport.netapp.com/download/tools/diskqual/qual_devices.zip" file to find out, which part ID equals which manufacturer(s).
Hope that helps
Sebastian

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.
