Sadly, this is mostly my lack of time. One of my partners is on vaction
until early July. The other just lost a daughter in a car accident. To
say the least getting these big beasties to you guy has become something
of a challenge. I have emptied the SA650 cabinets and loaded all the
drives onto a pallet (I was so tired from doing this I totally forgot
to get a count on them.) I've been gathering up all the boards as I
have the time. Hopefully I will get all the drives (whatever they may
be), the controllers, and cables on one pallet ready to ship as-is.
Whatever the weight is is what you guys pay for. I need them out of
the warehouse. I've saved them 2 times from the scrap heap, so its time
for them to go ASAP. :-) You're still looking at 2000+ pounds though.
The drives are a lot heavier than I thought.
