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...

Close as I can figure they look for the most expensive, hardest to find, out production variants from popular manufacturers and when they're availability is at the most limited/expensive they add them to the list. :lol:
I have no idea, but I wish they'd get their act together regarding Hitachi. I know there are issues with the merger, but the 2tb 330 is out of production and the replacement isn't certified yet.
