Well I used to work at a PCB assembly plant and I'd see things like this.

The boards usually go through in stages. Maybe there was a shortage of XP333 boards and they needed to quickly make up production, so they took some that were originally destined to by XP333-R boards and just left out the connectors.

Those chips - in the quantities they buy them in - are DIRT cheap. The economics of the situation may have warranted making 100 XP333-R boards into non-raid versions. Better to get the money for the order of 100 than sit on them and not make it at all.
