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

Okay, I finally made a FreeDos CD with wdidle3 that works!
Here's what I did:
Now to backup my data, reset the NAS to factory default (to increase sector size) and restore the data...will post results once its all running.
Here's what I did:
- Downloaded FDOEMCD.builder.zip from http://www.fdos.org/bootdisks/.
Added wdidle3.exe to CDROOT folder.
Executed MAKEISO.BAT to create new FDOEM.ISO CD image file.
Burned FDOEM.ISO to CD and viola - it will boot to DOS and allows wdidle3 to run.
Disabled wdidle3 timer on all discs (I'm actually using WD20EADS)
