Seagate ST4000DX000-1C5160 [3726 GB] 4TB
firmware cc42 date 12047 dom 7/2011
bare drive pulled from usb3 external @ http://www.amazon.com/Seagate-FreeAgent ... 914&sr=8-1
single drive, boot menu factory defaulted, all frontview defaults.
ultra 4: 4.2.20-t4, no JF, single nic

drag/drop 15g from ssd via cifs gbit to default backup share
peaks of ~80-85 mibs
windows dialog reported speed ~45 mibs

drag/drop 15g from ssd via cifs gbit to default backup share
peaks of ~115mibs
windows dialog reported speed ~79 mibs
reading same 15g file back to ssd showed 110 on windows copy dialog, constant 115-118 on netmeter
other notes;
only 1 drive at this time, so unable to test raid/expansion
drive seems to be pretty quiet, can't really hear it over the device fans
spent about 30 minutes on each device, so no extended testing, just setup and a few drag/drop transfers
Can't wait for tax return time or saving up for 5 more drives, I'm looking forward to 6x 4tb in dual redundancy.

- I don't care about time tbh, but imagine having to copy 10+TB just to replace your drives, then restore config, all software running, all scripts etc.
No everyone can afford another equal ReadyNas just to have it as a backup. I really hope there will be solution introduce to address this issue.
It's not LVM limitation right? So where is the issue? bbaraniec wrote: I would love to know if in future we will be able to expand beyond 18TB without factory default.
Given the time it would take, a factory default is perhaps the only truly practical way to expand?- I would love to know if in future we will be able to expand beyond 18TB without factory default.
- I have 2 of them in an ultra 4, from about the time of the origin post, no problems thus far. I don't see any reason why it would be different for 6 of them in a u6 or pro6.

Please post the results if ANYONE does... Thx! - Nice! Good to know that from initial testing 4TB drives appear to work fine.
I think I will still wait for a bare 4TB drive to be released and then see what the price of that is like.
Needless to say that pulling a drive from the GoFlex voids the warranty on the drive and as the disk is not on the official compatibility list if you run into issues NetGear will deny support. So make sure you have good backups of any important data. - http://www.anandtech.com/show/4758/seag ... hdd-review

the bottom of the case comes off and is simply a sata+power connector, I tried a different drive and it still seems to work, so I would assume you could put older drives into the case and use the dock for backups. - Also, I wonder if those enclosures could take a smaller seagate drive. Hmmm. If I could bump two of my 1TB seagates out of the nas into those enclosures that would give me 5TB in the NAS and a total of 4TB for backup. Very tempting with these drives on sale at Bestbuy today.
steve - Do you have any idea what the specs are on this drive? RPM, Cache, etc? Or even which seagate drive class it is? I can't seem to find anything detailed from seagate yet. Thanks.
- added second 4tb drive to ultra 4
