What are the model of the drives? The xSeries uses several different kinds... it depends on what you bought. These can be had on ebay fairly inexpensively.

We have 6 of these servers 3 of each and have had to replace at least one drive on at least 5 of them. Has anyone else found that these are bad drives? Does anyone use 3rd party drives in these machines that they find to be more reliable? We are covered under warranty, but I would rather just not have to keep replacing them.
