Dell's trying to get 'cute' with their new 6Gb RAID controllers

Was just reading the docs on Dells new H series Perc RAID controllers. What a nice new feature:

Blocking of non Dell certified drives being used with PERC H700 or PERC H800 

So Dell is going to tell me what hard drives to buy now - I cant go to my local computer supplier to replace a failed drive, I have to wait for Dell. I cant expand my storage with inexpensive high quality drives off the shelf, I must buy Dell's over priced "certified drives".

Isn' t that cute. Oh and by the way, these are next generation SAS RAID cards supporting 6GB/sec data throughput.
