As mentioned previously, HDS should come out and make it clear when internal vs external drives should be used. I think also it is worth customers measuring the cost of an "internal" slot versus external storage - which would be the cost of the external array plus the ports on the switch/USP that would be used. aDept, that’s good news, perhaps HDS weren’t pushed into offering this feature then.

I don't see how this means that they have been pushed into offering internal SATA because they can't provide this feature, but I do agree it makes working out the cheaper option difficult.
