If you have the latest 3.01c1-p6 firmware, we'll get around the Secure Erase problem.
Just to confirm, I can go ahead and use my WD500YS with the WD's updated firmware as long as I am running firmware 3.01c1-p6 (or later, I assume) on my RAID?
Yes, that should work. Please do keep in mind that our QA has not blessed this drive with new firmware yet.
By your response, "we'll get around the Secure Erase problem", I take it that by not having Secure Erase support, my X6 will be slower when doing a X-RAID expansion. Will day to day usage (read/write) performance be effected as well?
It'll be slower only during the initialization phase of the expansion.
