Kingston or Samsung dram Seagate F/W Barracudas Not sure what fast ethernet cards they use, but it would be trivial to find out.
Netapp *really* does its customers a disservice but its RIDICULOUS pricing on common accessories.
$1950 list for a F/W Cuda 4 from netapp...and they offered us this *incredible* 15% discount...wow $1657.50...
Tech Data had the same drive for $665.
I love our toasters, but someone in netapp marketing really needs to get a grip on reality.
