I hope this isn't true. If so I will have to start looking into a new solution for our server purchases as this is unacceptable.

I removed the supplied drives, and installed 4 Barracuda ES.2s. After doing a "Clear Configuration" in the pre-boot RAID setup utility, I can perform no operation with the drives - they are marked as "blocked". Is Dell preventing the use of 3rd-party HDDs now? Thanks for any enlightenment. Philip J.
