      Is the Canadian location pricing in CDN or USD?

      Of course I would assume CDN - but even if it was in USD, why would it be 50% more expensive in the US vs Canada? I would expect the opposite - as you said, Canadian taxes should drive the price way higher, even before considering it being in a lower valued currency.

        A lot of Canadian things price in USD. Just like in Nicaragua, you never know when the price is going to be USD.

          I guess the real test is if I can order from the site and have it shipped to me in California.

              Hmm. I don't know if this will even work with my R720XD, after all. I have NL-SAS 7200RPM drives in the front (with a Perc 710) and if that SSD drive is a SATA, then it wouldn't work, right? Unless the cachecade are SATA connectors... Anyone know?

                CacheCade isn't a controller, it's a feature of the controller that you are already using 🙂

                  Right but since the controller I am using is for NL-SAS, would it allow SATA connections on the** rear designated **cachecade slots or would those be the same as the front?

                    SAS controllers will work with SATA drives. The drives should work on that count.

                      Tried ordering and it only lists provinces in shipping/billing addresses. 😞 I wonder if I can chat to see if I can get the price from the US site...

                        All major controllers have been mix and match for a long time. Not within a single ARRAY, but on a single controller. I know of none with a limitation there.
