If you’re willing to wait, you can always order half, wait a month or two, then order the other half.

Unfortunately this particular server was a replacement for another that had failed suddenly so that wasn't really an option in my case. If it had been one of many at work then it would have been a sensible option, I agree.

Repurposing several of the initial drives with later purchases (or exchanges) might be another option.
