ST2000DM001 reliability experience ?
Seems like the only option I can easily get for 2TB that is on the HCL for my NV+ is this drive. I note a previous topic where users were experimenting with and starting to use this drive in their NAS...

ST2000VN000 isn't on HCL for NV+ but is another alternative to the ST2000NM0033, it's not 7200RPM but it's cheaper and I don't think the NV+ would really see any difference with speed. Check it out. I have ST4000VN000 * 4 in my RN104, they are they have been there for a year and I have no error of any kind, they run cooler than normal disks too.
I would avoid desktop model personally. I would go for a non HCL model if your NAS isn't under warranty. If it is, I would ask support if one of the suggested NAS HDD model would work since they are supported for newer NAS. That way if you have an answer saying yes they can't drop support (but they can also choose to answer no).
PS : see the post of MDGM there : viewtopic.php?f=7&t=77290
He seems to tell that DM are not that great.
