Default Re: What does Guardian OS cost from Adaptec?

Granted; you make some good points. However, the selling points of the 4500's, if I chose to try and sell them, would be:
1 - they are pristine, hardware-wise, and complete.
2 - the 4500's have 4x250GB drives, or 1TB total
3 - the more knowledgeable buyers out there who have a 4500 would also have the ability to upgrade the OS, if I understand correctly, by swapping drives one at a time, right? That makes the low version number on the 4500's a moot issue for them. Correct me on this one if I'm wrong.

As long as I describe them truthfully, I suspect I could still get a decent sum from them with a clean conscience. If not, I've only lost the Ebay listing fee -- no big loss for learning the state of the market.

Yup, I said less than half. Why? Uh because of what you just asked here. The OS is needed and the OS is expensive. With it, the unit is expensive. Without it, it's not so expensive.
