IBM has recently observed cases at our IBM System i customers where disk
drives have been procured on the open market and modified to look like IBM
drives. These modifications include false labels that look like IBM labels
I think this is understandable as long as IBM is charging unreasonable
prices for their System i drives.
e.G.
System i: 4328, U320 Attachment, 15kRPM, 147GB Capacity, 3098 CHF
System x: 40K1044, U320 Attachment, 15kRPM, 147GB Capacity, 760 CHF
Noname U320, 15kRPM, 147GB Drive: ~300 CHF
While the System x drive is market priced (HP, Dell charge somewhat
the same amount), IBM is milking it's System i customer base on System
i disk drives.
