I think you mean 3590E drives. We had one upgrade kit damaged in shipment,
thanks to the trucking company. One upgrade kit had a defective card pack,
and it took over three weeks for the replacement to arrive - from Mexico.
>From what I hear, the defect rate from that plant is pretty bad, with
drives misconfigured or otherwise inoperable, and has become an issue
within the company.
