No blanks? Same dirty techniques as HP, tried to jack us for more money by telling me there was no such SKU for an empty sled. Which was bull. Found them on fleabay. $118 for 250gb, that is about what we recently paid for 2TB Hitachis (after rebate). J Does look like a pretty cool device though.

The sleds, apparently, make the drives much more robust in regards to dropping, etc. (http://www.high-rely.com/HR3/includes/test.php). The list on the Tandem DXR is $685. They don't sell empty sleds, at least they aren't listed on their web. A 250 GB drive starts at $118 and the price goes up to $321 for a 2 TB drive. The drives in my sleds are all 1TB Hitachi Deskstars. Don't know about what they put in other sizes. Anyway, if I had too, I could simple unscrew a drive from a sled and plug it in internally into a workstation or server and be able to do a recovery.

How much did it cost? Phillip Partipilo Parametric Solutions Inc. Jupiter, Florida (561) 747-6107 From: Jackson, Jeff [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, February 16, 2010 4:03 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Removable SATA backups Hi Andrew, We've gotten rid of tape using this system: http://www.high-rely.com/HR3/includes/TandemDXR/TandemDXR.php I can't tell on the unit's you've linked to, but this mirrors the two drives, so you pull out one for off-site, while the other drive remains online. The mirroring is done inside the box, so when you plug in the "old" drive returning from off-site, it automatically syncs up with the "source" drive. Anyway, I'm very happy to be rid of tape.
