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...
Well, today I finally have my ReadyNAS Duo back in use with two drives fitted.
Seagate finally replaced the incompatible ST2000DL001 CC32 promo drive, after lots of discussion, with a re-manufactured ST2000DM001 originally manufactured in Feb 2012. It has taken me 40 days to get to this position. While both companies have finally come through, it is only because I am persistent and educated them about the compatibility of their equipment.

Thanks to those who offered me advice.
