2TB WD20EARS HCL Advanced Format 4k Sectors TLER LCC WDidle3
EDIT: This thread was written before the Readynas group had recognized and addressed the WD Advanced Format HDD's. An issue that remains to this day is the massive LCC(Load Cycle Count) increases due ...
WD doesn't support using Green disks in NAS units and they aren't on the compatibility list any more so I don't think we'll see an add-on. So the solution via SSH or hooking the drive up to a PC (and using WDIDLE3.exe) would be the way to go if you want to change the WDIDLE3 setting.
I just bought some 3TB RED drives and expanded my volume. 4TB disks would have pushed my unit beyond the online 8TB expansion limit plus I expect the 4TB ones will be quite expensive when they first come out. Plus my main NAS had already been full for quite some time. So I decided not to wait any longer. I can use some of the disks from my main NAS to replace some disks in another unit that have failed.
