Cheap options for 2 or 3 TB disks?
I am just about to purchase a ReadyNAS 4+ for home use (msuic, videos, pictures), but looking at the official compatibility list, everything on it seems to cost double what a "normal" desktop HD would...

The Samsung Spinpoint F4 HD204UI are great 2 TB drives and are around $79 normally. I've even seen them for $69 from time to time. Newegg had them for $59 last black Friday too.
I have around 24 (I lost count) of them without any issues. There was an early firmware issue with a downloadable firmware fix but anything now should be OK out of the gate.
Glad to hear this, I need 4 x 2TB drives (2 for each NV+ v1) and was sold on these except for two questions.
1. How is performance? I'm just using them for Flac and photo sharing
2. I have heard mention that Green/ECO drives shouldnt be used for RAID but have no idea behind the thought on this.
