Buyer Beware concerning HD Caddy
11/29/2013
This review is from: Lenovo ThinkServer TS440 Tower Server System Intel Xeon E3-1225 v3 3.2GHz 4C/4T 4GB DDR3 1600 70AQ000NUX
Pros:
Looked like a very well built server for the short time I had it.
Cons:
I bought this server with the option of no hard drives after carefully reading there was not any requirement of Lenovo drives or anything special. I received the server quickly and was getting ready to put in my drives when I found to my dismay that it had only dummy hard drive caddys in the hotswap bays. There was no way to mount any drives without the caddys. I called Lenovo and after almost 2 hours of waiting I finally got a hold of them and found that they would sell them for $110 each and they were not available yet to purchase. This means I would have to spend $550 for caddys if that was even a possibility. So basically I couldn't do anything with this server. Now I have to pay $40 return shipping and somehow get another server here in a time crunch. I feel this should have been explicitly specified on the newegg site or the Lenovo site.
Overall Review:
Please update the site to specify that it does not come with any hard drive caddy's (and can't even be purchased at this time).
