DotHill SAN Drive Failure

[Lorfarius]

We purchased a Dothill SAN back in 2013 and today a 600GB drive has failed just weeks past the warranty! Anyone have any idea how much a replacement is likely to cost off the top of their head? Edited May 16, 2016 by Lorfarius

Surely if it's out of warranty any 600gb drive of the same spec will do?

 

Dot Hill ones seem to be going for about $1000/£700 a pop from some suppliers but a quick google reveals some ebay sellers with them as low as £300

That's not too bad. Thought it would be way more expensive, thanks!

 

I've never had to swap one of these before. Is it a pain?
