|
|
What fun! Xserve Raid parts are starting to drop like flies...
I have seen 2 Raid Controllers, 3 Drives, and 1 Cooling unit go down at 5 different sites in the last ten days...
I have found a few places online that have the entire spare parts kit for around $1800.
I have found the Power Supply alone for $400.
What I would love to find... is the Raid Controller by itself.
(and 250GB drive modules "yeah right!")
If anyone has a source, or insight... would be much appreciated. |

| We had a few parts go out this fall, we were still able to purchase them through GSX. |

| apple has to provide parts up to 5 years after the last day they were sold from my understanding, you should be able to get them from resellers. |
