Allow for growth, rebuild time and spares; RAID does not replace backups.
What should your enquiry include?
Include full part number, quantity, target configuration, host model, application and required timing. A family name is not an ordering code; state essential specifications and budget if alternatives are acceptable.
From validation to delivery
