Dell is no NetApp. Having used solutions from both, there's a world of a difference. You are kidding yourself if you think you're on a nearby practice ground, let alone in the same ballpark. > There are a number of benefits for using Dell qualified drives in > particular ensuring a positive experience and protecting our data. Your data? If you want to protect your data, do it at your expense. I'd rather protect my data much more cost effectively and much more flexibly - without a vendor lock-in on drives; or, where requirements justify it, choose a real enterprise storage solution. -Ronan _______________________________________________ Linux-PowerEdge mailing list Linux-PowerEdge@dell.com https://lists.us.dell.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-poweredge Please read the FAQ at http://lists.us.dell.com/faq
