Not in my experience, though said experience qualifies for classiccmp at 
this point (10+ years old).

The only times I got sun-labeled drives was in new machines, and when 
working at Fortune 500 firms who only bought through sun VARs. Every 
other shop wouldn't pay those prices.

Maybe it was different after ~2002, or maybe Suns were no longer being 
bought in small quantities, or outside environments with SANs.

Entirely possible. I took the advent of a Java-based installer as a sign 
the Apocalypse was nigh...
