HCL-Seagate 3TB ST3000DM001: Is newer p/n:1CH166 included?
According to the Netgear HCL, the 3TB Barracuda 7200.14 ST3000DM001 is compatible with the ReadyNAS Pro4. Caveat is that Firmware CC4H should be used. It appears that the CC4H firmware update is on...
I got my 4 new ST2000DM001-9YN164 disks yesterday, and they already had the proper CC4H firmware. I put them in the ReadyNas, switched the power on, and after a short while I had a fresh ReadyNas with factory settings. All the partitions now have 4kB alignment, as they should have with these disks. At present I'm restoring the data, but that may take a while. So far the disks are behaving as they should.
Some observations:
1.The manual states that it is possible to switch on the write cache of the disk. The setting should be in System > Performance. However it is no there, very odd.
2. In the volumes window there used to be a SMART button behind every volume. Clicking on that button would give you information about the disk and the SMART counters. It has been replaced by a rather useless Locate button. However if you use the Download All Logs function you will find a log file (or several) with this information.
