Hardware Compatibility List (HCL) updates please
I have a Pro business ed. and a Ultra4. On the Pro business I need to populate with some bigger disks. We have a mix of Seagate ST33000651AS (3TB), ST3100034oNS (1TB), and WD2003FYYS-02WOB0 (2TB) a...

I have to realy agree to this post...
I have a ultra 4 with 4x of the 3TB Seagate ST33000651AS in the HCL (bought em before the flood), now im thinking on getting a Ultra 6 and migrate the drive over and get 2x Seagate 3TB ST3000DM001, and throw the old 2TB drives into the Ultra 4.
This plan will ofc fall on its face if i have to spend huge amount of money on the 3TB seagate drives in the HCL, also the 3TB drives in the HCL are not sold anymore from the big web stores i trust in my country due to new cheaper drives. And i can only get em from smaller "less trustworthy" stores that have low sales so they still have em in stock.
So like the OP said, test the Seagate 3TB ST3000DM001 allready and give us a tumbs up or thumbs down on it...
(as i understand it the ST3000DM001 is the new ST33000651AS only it lost the XT name (seagate is reserving the "XT" for SSD's now), and it has some higher storage density on the disks so it uses 3 instead of 4 plates).
The ST33000651AS is 2x the ST3000DM001 in price and most worth while webshops dont have the ST33000651AS, and dont get me started on the pricing on the Constellation drives (atleast for the home and small buisness market).
