AX150 Drive Carrier's

[CoreyWilson]

Does the AX150 come with the necessary drive carriers as part of the filler module in each slot not occupied by a hard drive, or do you have to purchase drives from emc just so that you get them with the hard drive carrier?

Thanks

Anyone?

When purchased from EMC the drives come with the trays.

 

[CoreyWilson]

So in other words, you have to pay an extra 150-300 dollars per drive simply to have a 'supported' setup and to get drive trays?

 

[comtec17]

That depends on your vendor.

We dont really have a 'vendor' per say that can offer us great deals. Something like this would likely be purchased through say, CDW. I have been scouting their prices on 'emc' hard drives vs other drives of the same specs and they can be upto 300 dollars more expensive (Canadian funds) just for having a seagate, fujitsu or whatever drive they use to have a 'supported' solution and the drive tray to install it in the device. Just seems like a real money grab.
