I'm not entirely sure if this is true across all ranges but early last year Dell started to block non Dell branded drives from being used in their PowerEdge line. I'm not sure if they backported this into firmware upgrades or it is just for new systems. This is really no different than what HP or

For CCNA simulator software is good enough and a lot cheaper and easier to deal with or at least that was the case when I got CCNA certified (and then let it lapse) years ago. If you go the sim route find one that is open ended and allows you to play around beyond just completing the exercises. I

At a guess it comes down to a couple things. UoP is for profit. That usually means more service before the sale. For the proprietary schools the recruiters are sales people witt the same sell or get fired stress that people in sales have everywhere so you might as well be buying a car from a
