Configuration & purchase checks

Record controllers, host interface, redundancy, expansion shelves and the firmware scope.
Separate raw capacity, mathematically RAID-adjusted capacity and application-usable capacity in the proposal.
Match drives and carriers to the storage system qualification rules. General server compatibility is not storage-array qualification.
Include host adapters, expansion cables, software features and support instead of quoting an enclosure alone.
Request an actual controller and drive inventory. A family photograph does not prove the offered capacity.

Adding an item prepares a local RFQ line. It does not create a price offer, reserve inventory or submit an order.
