They have some silly prices on SAS drives for the C6100.
I ordered 16 of the 900gb SAS drives for one of my C6100's for a total of about $1150 shipped. I didn't think it would fly, but you never know. Sometime these things slip by and they happen.
I got a call this morning stating that the $69 price for each drive was for the caddy only.. Gasp! He offered to discount the drives to $375 each for my trouble, and make it an even $6k for the drives, but I said no thanks.
Anyway, if there is something there you like, maybe it's worth a shot ordering something on the hopes that it might ship, or you get a call like me offering a discount. I didn't research the prices, so I am not sure if $375 for a 900gb 2.5" SAS is good or not. I just know that it's a lot more than $69, and this is for home use at the moment. Once I have the millions rolling in, I'll consider more expensive hardware
The guy that called claimed that the drives were brand new pulls and offered a 1 year warranty, even though the machine they pull them from comes with a 3 year warranty from Dell.
