Dell Equalogic PS4000e - Help Needed!!!

[SwedishChef]

OK, long story short need a spare PS4000e with around 16tb of storage, for a week.

The reason: we have one used for our Production VMware storage, it came with 8 1TB disks, we wanted to use all slots at 2TB, dell recommended a way for this to happen which hasn't worked.

The only alternative is to replicate our ps4000e to another equalogic unit and destroy the original raid array and backup/restore would take too many hours of downtime.

dell are looking to get one as well, but it's proving tricky apparently they don’t have them lying around in the UK!!!

For the fantastic person who may help me I have 8x1TB SATA dell equalogic drives which would retail around 6K which I can reward.

pm me, if you can help.
