Common problems when buying storage & nas
A chassis you have to populate blind
We quote the array and its drives as one tested system, with capacity and cache confirmed.
Data left on used arrays
Refurbished arrays ship wiped and tested, with a data-erasure certificate on request.
Drives or firmware that won't match your array
We match interface and firmware to your existing OceanStor or PowerVault before build.
