Hi all, I have been tasked by my boss to source some Netapp Fibre drives, We require some for spares for our DS14 Drive enclosures, has anybody had any experience buying second hand drives for these, there are some on ebay at present (item number 9741294785)that are inexpensive, this guy states that they have been data wiped, would there be any problems with having wiped the data i.e. are there any special partitions that may have been wiped any help would be much appreciated thanks guys. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/RE-Netapp-disks-on-ebay-t1796884.html#a4896698 Sent from the Network Appliance - Toasters forum at Nabble.com.
I assume the wiped he is referring to is zeroing the disk. There are no special partitions to worry about.
Cheers,
Grey

Good old ebay... We bought two filers from ebay for our dev test lab, F760. Not bad, but lacks support...:)
If the drives are not for production then go for it.
