OK Dell, what's the official word on this? If you're going to pull out the bullshit firmware argument, please tell me how all of the many PE2900's that I have run just fine, OMSA and all, with non-Dell drives. It's not that the Dell markup on drives is excessive; it's the principle (and the markup is waaay too high; Dell-supplied drives are more than double street price). This policy, if true, won't sell more disk drives; it will sell fewer servers. I have systems coming and need to know whether to cancel the orders. I'm not happy.
