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...

I ordered one of these drives from NewEgg and paid $199.99. I just received it today and installed it in a brand new ReadyNAS Ultra 4 Plus. I set up the ReadyNAS for X-RAID2; however, the Seagate drive is the only drive I put in the ReadyNAS (didn't want to order a second one until I knew this model drive worked). So far, things look good. After formatting the drive, the ReadyNAS shows 0% of 2,768 GB used. My plan is to order one more of these drives and then install both of them in a slightly older ReadyNAS Ultra 4 Plus that currently has four 1.5TB Seagate drives. When I do that, I'll take the two 1.5TB drives out of the older system and put them in the new ReadyNAS Ultra 4 Plus, which I then will use solely for archiving my shows from my TiVos. When drive prices finally come down, I'll probably pick up another two 3TB drives, put them in the older ReadyNAS Ultra unit, and then put then put the 1.5TB drives in the newer ReadyNAS Ultra unit (i.e., the TiVo unit) so I'll end up with four 3TB drives in one ReadyNAS Ultra and four 1.5TB drives in the other ReadyNAS Ultra.
