    Yes.  I use a WD20EFRX in my own duo v1.

      If I recall correctly the port might even be SATA I.

       

      2TB disks are the max capacity disks that will work with your NAS.

        Yes, that's my recollection too. But the important thing is that the WD10EFRX and the WD20EFRX both work.

         

        BTW, even SATA I delivers 150 MB/sec, so it isn't a big limitation in the v1 products.  The duo v1 is limited by its CPU (or sometimes network), not the disk speeds.
