What's the deal with the prices on iSeries drives? $2000 for a 10k 17.5 GB
drive! We're working on getting a quote for a Dedicated Server for Domino or
an Exchange solution. Software will be comparable, but the disk drives are
killing the hardware quote.

Of course, I would love to go this route, but can anyone give me some
pointers to justify the $1800+/drive difference between the IBM disks and pc
disks?

Are there any other drive or storage solutions?

Thanks,
