Our parent company has a old netapp (F840) that they are lending to us for a 2-month critical project.

Unfortunately the machine is out of maintenance. It has old X219F, X221D, X225B, X233A and X234B drives. I saw on NOW that these are all pretty much EOA drives. X219F is even End of Hardware Support. Does that mean basically you can't get them from NetApp at all?

For the other drives, we are checking to see if we can get support for them. Although for 2 month, maybe we are better off just purchasing them from support? Is that something that we can readily do? What kind of turn-around can we expect? Anyone else been through this before?
