WD2002FYPS - 2TB
Just upgraded from original Seagate 1Tb to brand new Western Digital 2Tb WD2002FYPS in a ReadyNAS 1100. All right! /Dat4WD

Which command line parameters you use? Show me your command line, please.
I used:
wdidle3 /d
This disables idle3 mode completely. See also the thread I posted a link to earlier (page 15)
If either the Readynas or the disk's firmware is fixed so the two work correctly together, the same tool can be used to re-enable the Green idle3 mode.
@muxje - Do I need to attached the hard drive through a SATA interface to use wdidle. Or can I use a USB enclosure (which would be much easier).
Also, what version of wdidle3 are you using - I can only find version 1.0 for download.
Thanks
