That is so not true! Even if you buy a Sun Fire with 0 hard disks you still get all drive bays along with the server so you can mount your own disks in a minute.
Last time I checked, I received just "dummy"-bays (not really what one needs to mount own drives).
I'm a rather frequent and loyal Sun customer, I think over time I must have bought just about every Fire model, and they all came with empty drive bays where no hard disks have been ordered. I never saw any «dummy» or unusable bay between the years 2000 and 2010.
You can still buy the "cheapest" hard drive (so you get a bay) and swap the disk though :)
You can do that as well if you like.
