Duo V1 and ST1000DM003-9YN162 contability
About a year ago I bought a 1TB Seagate Barracuda ST31000528AS for My readynas Duo (v1)to supplement the 500GB seagate drive that came with it. This drive was on the hardware Compatibility list.
I went to Best buy this week to upgrade the 500 GB drive so as to have a full 1TB of storage. I found a drive labelled as ST310005N1A1AS-RK on the box which, according to some information on line, is the retail kit version of ST31000528AS.
I just installed the drive and radiator is syncronizing it, but much to my surprise front-view reports it as ST1000DM003-9YN162!!
I do not see ST1000DM003-9YN162 on the hardware Compatibility list for the DUO v1. Does anyone know if I am fine sticking with the ST1000DM003-9YN162 on my duo v1 or will I have problems.
Thanks,
Brad

- Seagate ST1000DM003 is OK on Duo v1, but you need to update ST1000DM003's FW to CC4H or newer,
the old FW has noise issue.
viewtopic.php?f=24&t=65363 - Is there an easy way to see which firmware is already on the drive? The drive has been installed in my duo for a few weeks now and I have not noticed any drive issues I am wondering if perhaps it already has CC4H or newer on it.
Note: I can ssh to the drive so if there is a command line system utility that will show the drive's bio version I can use that. - You can see it with Frontview. Select status->health, then click on the "SMART+" for the drive. You will get a pop-up that includes a lot of drive stats, including the firmware.
- Thanks for the tip.
It turns out CC4H is the firmware version on the drive already!!
