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...
My first post here. This thread has been very helpful for me, but not it seems for Seagate or NetGear.
I have a ReadyNAS Due fitted with two Seagate drives. It came with a pre-fitted Seagate ST32000542AS and I then got a ST2000DL003-9VT166-301 drive with CC32 firmware as part of a NetGear UK promotion at the time. It seemed a good deal. However, both Seagate drives gave up in my ReadyNAS Duo last week. Netgear agreed to RMA the pre-fitted Seagate ST32000542AS drive, but are prevaricating about the promotional ST2000DL003-9VT166-301 drive with CC32 firmware.
The replacement drive arrived today and it is a ST2000DL003-9VT166-301 drive with CC32 firmware manufactured on 18 July 2011. I am a bit miffed. Why would NetGear send out a replacement drive they know to be inappropriate for their own hardware? It beggars belief.
