Different standards, different prices. Sure, if your 3rd party disks don't play nice with your chassis, or you need cubic-carbon-studded platinum level support for your mission critical piece of infrastructure you're out out to lunch if it hits it ;p However, in a whole series of anecdotes I've done quite well ditching Dells and Suns and HPs for Supermicro, and sourcing disks (and sometimes memory) from the likes of TechData and IngramMicro.
