    [Lon Waitman] “the dell guy is saying that if i do an ssd boot drive (2.5 inches), that i have to do all ssd drives in the system”

    Amazing BS… Just amazing… 🙂 Dell’s margin on SSDs is like… 100%? That would explain it… 🙂

    Hehe I didn’t know Dell had a all SSD policy if you buy 1. That is a new 1 I haven’t heard before even from a Dell sales person 😉 I think I see why HP protects their Var’s so much sheesh.

    actually, it appears that it was a misunderstanding. the dell guy got back to me with more options.

    Gettin one SSD potentially (doesn’t have to) changes the config from four 3.5″ to eight 2.5″ drive bays – so I can see where this comes from, the future is in SFF and smaller form factors. Something the Z820 could learn from, although I still like it better.

    Yet it’s not a requirement, you could certainly have one SSD and at least four 3.5″ drives in a 7610.

    P.S. My apologies to the Dell rep – I know I am making his life a bit more difficult. ;p
