I have been in a situation like this, but not with disks. Company X sells them a system, integrates it on site. However hardware maintenance SHOULD come from Company Y which is the supplier of the hardware. Customers never see it that way, and Company X gets the phone calls and is expected to book service calls, take hardware apart and run tests on behalf of Company Y. That's why people like Joe are very wary of letting customers have a free-for-all in choosing $high-performance-component to save a few dollars.
