Another question about computer hardware- If I configure a computer at the Dell site, it costs about $700 to add a 2TB SATA drive. On amazon.com or Staples or such, a 2TB drive costs ~$110. to $200 depending on brand.
Are the Dell-installed drives much faster, or more reliable, or have a better warranty? After all, RAID is supposed to stand for redundant array of inexpensive disks, and we could afford a lot more redundancy at the Amazon.com price. And, are there any brands or models that should be avoided due to known reliability issues? Thanks, eab
