ST3000DM001 Barracuda 7200.12 3TB
Any experience with these drives? I've just ordered some for my Ultra 6 Plus. Will provide feedback later on when they're delivered. I see the older Barracuda 3TB is on the HCL but not these newer mod...

How are these going? I'm considering them for my ultra 6+ as the older Seagate Drives on the Compatibility list seem unobtainable or if the odd drive is available its priced at enterprise levels rather than anything close to the prices a month ago.
This holds for several of the 3Tb models on the compatibility list - the newer models have come through faster than Netgear testing can keep up with lately although it would be really useful to know which drives are currently selected for testing with a view to adding to the compatibility list in the next few weeks/months. I really don't want to use 'Deathstars' as I've had too many bad experiences with them.
