Seagate ST1000DL002-9TT153 dropouts
My Readynas Duo V2 of a couple of months age was initially loade with two Hitachi 500GB drives, one Deskstar and one Videostar (my favourite). These filled up and I bought two Seagate ST1000DL002-9TT...
Thank you for the response.
Yes, I have studied the HCL, and note that the same problems afflict drives on that list. The list of drives is also rather limited and specific type numbers are a pain to source at reasonable costs due to manufacturers inconveniently changing their product ranges frequently.
It used to be recommended that drives in a RAID array be of mixed heritage to lessen the possibility of more than one drive exhibiting the same fault at around the same time. This is not a Netgear recommendation either.
Gone are the days when a new drive meant patching and burning a new BIOS chip. I would expect drives conforming to a set standard to play well with machines designed to that standard. It may be wise to keep to the same revision of that standard when mixing disks, say ATA8.
I chose the Readynas Duo V2 for a number of reasons. The CPU was fast enough to handle a couple of disks and a fast network. My own experiments used Celeron 1GHz; 1.3Ghz; 1.4GHz; 2.4GHz. I wanted a closed box I could not fiddle to death. My usage is low. It gets switched on maybe once or twice a week and a few GB's of data will be copied for safe storage.
When money allows the Seagate disks will be dumped. I doubt if the replacements will be on the HCL either. They may even be of different manufacturers.
Bye for now...
