NetApp is big in enterprise DAS space; think big server rack with highly redundant components to provide block storage devices to multiple workstations in the office. If I remember correctly, they're also the ones where their drives are formatted with 520 bytes per sector, and you'd need to reformat them using
sg_formatto 512 bytes per sector before you can use them with some systems.Reading around I've notice that there could be this risk and I've ask the seller if they're 520 or 512.
