WD 3TB recommendations for Pro Pioneer?
Hi
I have a Pro Pioneer stacked with five WD RE4 drives (WD2003FYYS-01T8B0 and WD2003FYYS-02W0B0) and would like to start incrementing to 3TB WDC drives or greater starting from the sixth drive.

The HCL is silent on RE drives of this capacity, however. Does anyone have any experience with the 3TB WD3000FYYZ or 4TB WD4000FYYZ drives in their Pro Pioneer and who may have followed a similar upgrade path?
What are any caveats I should know as I start this upgrade cycle?
Thanks in advance for any help or guidance you could offer.

- I've been using several WD30EfRX for about a year with good results. Though apparently a recent production change has resulted in the load cycle count issue recurring again on new drives You can run wdidle3 to reset the head parking timeout, though WDC doesn't want you to...
I have no experience with either the WD3000FYYZ or the WD4000FYYZ - Thanks, StephenB. have you heard of anyone using the RE drives?
