DUO v2 and ST2000DL003

I really would like to have some comment from Netgear on this.

I have a DUO v2 about to be delivered. Before ordering I checked the HCL, but it seems I may have looked at the DUO (not v2) HCL by accident. On the DUO HCL, Seagate ST2000DL003 is listed, so I ordered a couple of these together with the NAS.

Now I've discovered that the ST2000DL003 is not on the DUO v2 HCL, so I'm a bit anxious as to whether I should return these or not (I'd prefer not to). Also, the ST1500DL003, which has the same specs as the ST2000DL003 apart from the capacity, IS on the v2 HCL.

So Netgear, will the ST2000DL003 be added to the HCL or have you tested them and found an incompatibility?

    You had batter not use ST2000DL003, Seagate drive has "FLUSH CACHE EXT" hang problem, the symptom would be exactly same as described:
    Entire disk(all partitions) not responding, only power cycle can bring it back.
    Seagate recently admitted this issue, they have a test firmware to address this hang issue.
