Hmmm.. looks like Sun didn't put the normal/standard SCA+spud
bracket in these eh? That's too bad, it's such a cleaner interface, no
messing with jumpers/termination, no extra power cables/connectors, much
better for hot swapping, etc... Not to mention cheaper aftermarket
SCA drives once they're flooded on to the market as the next drive model
is released.
