HITACHI Deskstar 5K3000 HDS5C3020ALA632 (0F12117)
Has anyone tried these? I'm looking into the upgrading my NAS and I'm limited to 512k sectors unless I want to do a factory reset, which would be an unbelievable amount of work given the disk juggling...
If you insist on Hitachi compatible drives, go with the HDS722020ALA330 which is $120 each on Newegg. With the Ultra 2 at $300 on Newegg, the full package is $53 more, but you have compatible drives. Or you can go with the Seagate ST2000DL003 which are 5900 RPM drives for $75 each ($450 for the full package of Ultra 2 and 2x2TB drives). Amazon still has some of the Seagate ST32000542AS drives listed, but they are $92 each.
