    15k RPM SAS 6Gb/s 3.5"

    Hello,

    Where is a good place to get these kind of hard drives? 15k RPM SAS 6Gb/s 3.5"

    I found VERY few on newegg and been searching around. I see HP and Dell sell them but for alot more then I've seen companies like Seagate sell them for.

    Looking for HD's similar to this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16822148538

    Anyone know of good stores to buy from other then newegg.com? Maybe a store more directed towards servers?

    Thanks,
    Alex

    Hi Alex,

    I have had great luck with Provantage in the past, although I have read some mixed reviews about them online. They seem to be offering some 6Gb/s SAS drives. What controller are you planning to use the drives with?

    Thanks, checking them out now.

    Regarding the controller I am not sure yet I am looking for drives first.

    One drive I was looking at one newegg is $80 cheaper at provantage ...

    I did a search on pricewatch.com and they are in the $255-$260 range. Newegg is good for some things, but their price on that drive is way high.

    Are you specifically looking for the 6Gb/s interface? or would 3Gb/s suffice?
