Anyone familiar with these? Basically they seem to be locked in some way, where it wont let me just add my own drive, and if I take one of those drives and hook it up to a computer, it no longer works in the SAN. Learned that the hard way...

I have 4 enclosures, 2 that are 400GB drives and 2 that are 250GB drives. They are 1710-10U enclosures. Is there any procedure I can do to a standard drive to make it compatible? Would be nice to fill this thing up with 1TB drives. :biggrin: Or at least be able to just replace drives that fail.

My company is currently creating a solution for this. The solution will allow you to plug in any off-the-shelf SATA drive into the EXP100 drive tray. We anticipate marketing this solution for $30/drive tray.
