Any chance that the HD compatibilty list can be updated in this area?
Western Digital GP drives - The WD GP (Green Power) drives are known to generate ATA errors when disk spin down is enabled with the ReadyNAS 600, Duo, NV+ and 1100. RAIDiator 4.1.5 when released will allow these drives to work with these models. ReadyNAS Pro and Pro Pioneer are not effected by this issue and WD GP drives can be used with these systems. Please use the list above to see which GP drives have been qualified.
Now that 4.1.5 has been released, and if it really does completely address the problems with the GP drives, shouldn't it say something about use the GP drives only with 4.1.5 or greater? Some mention of compatibility consistent with what was once listed for Seagate and Maxtor would be good documentation.
