Toshiba DT01ACA series HCL: some data should be corrected.
Checking the ReadyNAS HCL - HDDs in order to deploy a ReadyNAS 104 or a ReadyNAS 314 with Toshiba rotational disks I noticed that Toshiba DT01ACA series is reported with incorrect data and it should, IMO, be updated to avoid confusion to users:
The Toshiba DT01ACA family actually (July, 2014 -> Look at official DT01ACA Datasheet) is made of four disk models:
The 500GB disk DT01ACA050 model.
The 1TB disk DT01ACA100 model.
The 2TB disk DT01ACA200 model.
The 3TB disk DT01ACA300 model.
ReadyNAS HCL HDD for Toshiba DT01ACA series actually shows:
The 1TB disk DT01ACA100 model. It has a (cache) Buffer Size of 32 MB.
The 2TB disk DT01ACA200 model. It has a (cache) Buffer Size of 64 MB despite ReadyNAS HCL reports only a Buffer Size of 32 MB, value which is not correct.
The 3TB disk DT01ACA300 model. It has a (cache) Buffer Size of 64 MB despite ReadyNAS HCL reports only a Buffer Size of 32 MB, value which is not correct.
All Toshiba DT01ACA series disks have a SATA 3 drive interface (at 6 Gbps) despite ReadyNAS HCL reports a 3 Gbps speed for the Toshiba DT01ACA200 model.
All Toshiba DT01ACA series disks benefit of a Limited Warranty of 2 Years (from date of purchase) despite ReadyNAS HCL reports a value of 5 Years for the Toshiba DT01ACA300 model.
There isn't any reference about RVS (Rotational Vibration Safeguard) feature on DT01ACA300 or on any other DT01ACA disk model. ReadyNAS HCL reports RVS feature on Toshiba DT01ACA300 model.
Hope these information could be useful to update the ReadyNAS HCL for that Toshiba DT01ACA family of rotational disks.

- KimeraGuideAfter four months (see above) wrong data is still displayed on the ReadyNAS HCL about those rotational Toshiba disks...why nobody care to check that and then correct/update as necessary?
