I think there's too much market churn and too many companies competing for prosumer and power user market share. It seems like everybody and their backup out there has a different way of doing things. The last time I rebuilt my research server I went looking for the same hhot-swap bays that I had at a previous job, and found out that they'd gone out of manufacture a year or two after the last time I saw them. Kind of frustrating, really - those were great bays. I wound up buying a set the last time I was on the east coast (hot swappable SATA-III[: A four-drive and a three-drive) and they've held up pretty well.
