Seagate ST3000DM001 7200.14 Compatibility and Warranty

After all the feedback in this thread, and since my Newegg order won't arrive until Tuesday and can still be refused or returned, I went back and looked at options to use my two ST3000DM001 drives for backup and order four new WD Red WD30EFRX drives to replace my unsupported ST2000DL003-9VT166 drives currently in my Ultra 4. Newegg is running a special on the WD30EFRX which expires today and I could get four for $420 and a two drive Mediasonic RAID enclosure for $60 so I could use my existing two ST3000DM001 drives in RAID 0 array for backup. Although that would give me 1TB more backup space than the 5TB Seagate STEB5000100 expansion drive I ordered with the two additional ST3000DM001 drives the total cost would be $480 versus $295 that I paid for the Barracuda 7200.14 drives and the 5TB external drive (with another promotion). This is an "emergency" acquisition for me to address my recent problems and the Netgear support issue and I really can't afford the $185 difference so I think I'll take my chances with four ST3000DM001 drives in my Ultra 4.

I do appreciate all the feedback though and will update this thread if I have any issues with the ST3000DM001 drives in the near future.
