Hitachi 2TB 5K3000 Green drive not in HCL ?
Hello All, Regarding performance, price and reliability Hitachi 2TB 5K3000 Green Drive seems a good choice to expand my x86 Pro Pioneer (X-Raid2). Unfortunately this drive (HDS5C3020ALA632) is not...

- The drives have been running since Feb 1, 2012

So the answer is, the drives work great. I just wish they were 5TB
Thank you AMRivlin, i'm also a Readynas Pro / Plex PMS big fan!
I will consider to buy 2x2TB disks HDS5C3020ALA632 version (sadly not currently in the HCL) to update my current Pro Pioneer.
I'm also probably going to buy an alternate 3TB equiped media server powerfull config on a Pro 6 (like yours) or on the new replacement model (from Netgear) if any.
My only concerns is about the form factor, not 19" rackable as 3200 models.
