Seagate ST2000DL003-9VT166
All, I have a readynas Ultra 4 with (3) 2TB Seagate ST2000DL003-9VT166 -302 drives in it. I have firmware CC3C that came with the drives. I have read the issues people have had with these drives. I...
While I wish that all hard drives would work in RAID arrays, the bottom line is that they just don't - this issue shows up in all NAS forums that I've looked at. If there's any money to be saved in taking a feature needed for RAID out, then it will be. The volume sales are the single-drive market drive.
I agree that the HCL doesn't work very well, and that this set of issues continue to plague the NAS user community. WDC's creation a drive line for consumer raid is a good sign (independent of what you think of WDC generally), hopefully Seagate will follow suit. Another option is to simply forego RAID and stick with JBOD. Systems with pre-installed drives are of course available, but there is a price premium there as well.
