Yeah, maintenance and support are null and void in this scenario. We just got an old cheap EQ box with small drives for testing.
Maybe I'll slap some bigger drives in it today and let you know how it goes.

Additionally, are you maintaining a maintenance agreement on said equipment, and if so, does it void the maintenance?

The only actual experience I have is replacing a Dell 250GB drive with a non-Dell one. Couldn't have been easier. Pulled out the old, inserted the new and auto rebuild ensued.

I suspect Dell are going to want a small fortune. I appreciate all the implications for support and warranty, I’m more interested in whether it will actually work and if anyone here has done it?
