Tis different, IMHO. If I'm buying a low end server with SATA drives I don't expect to have to pay Dell or HP for OEM drives with some custom firmware, which is exactly what you're getting. If you're buying drives for a name brand SAN, then that's a different story. I'm not at all happy that 1TB "FATA" drives for my EVA cost damn near $1000 each, but I'll pay it for that application. This is a different beast altogether.
