Hmm. Perhaps making this a FAQ item might be good.. :)
I have not ever done this. We attempted to (with our first filer) but NetApp discouraged us (putting the storageworks canisters together can be fun).
If you read some of the whitepapers, you will find that the only customer that has ever suffered a dual drive failure was one that put their own drives in. Wether this is still true or not, I have no idea.
Now, after spending the ammount of $$$ we have on filers, paying a little (or alot) more for the drives is fine. My data (and job) are dependent on those drives...
