My issue is figuring out if I want to dump between $75 to $300 (if $75 ea) on four empty sleds or putting that money toward a new retail box with no drives. While I hate to potentially throw a 4400 in the can, that DIY side of me just cant sit up and think of the possibilities.

You will have to do 2 simple small mods to your trays yourself. Very simple (a child could do it).
That would be $75 + $10 s/h inside the lower 48 USA. $85 total for 4.

Hmmm, I honestly have not tried with any GOS below 5.0.133. I would test for you, but I only have 1 set of 2TB drives and they now have lots of data on them. Which by the way is a Snap 4400 with 4x2TB drives.

None of the customers have received them yet (still in transit/shipping). And keep in mind, there are only 3 people from here on the forum getting them.
