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...

Installed ssh which allowed me to check what the Readynas systems made of upgrading from a 500GB mirror to a 1TB mirrored array.

Whether the fact that it thinks it has a 4TB array and not a physical 1TB array is causing problems, or whether the Seagate internal translation of 4k block size to 512 byte block size is causing hiccups I do not know.
Any wise men out there? What should it say?
PS I meant Cinemastar not Videostar. Blame Buggles. They run up to 5C cooler than Deskstar at the same speed, and I had no problems using them in a FreeNAS mirror.
