WD2002FYPS - 2TB
Just upgraded from original Seagate 1Tb to brand new Western Digital 2Tb WD2002FYPS in a ReadyNAS 1100. All right! /Dat4WD
WD RE4-GP (WD2002FYPS)
3.5-inch Enterprise SATA Hard Drives
2 TB, 1.2 million hours MTBF, 64 MB Cache, IntelliPower
Manufacturer Information
1 Resync, 5000 Files and 1.75 Terabytes later ...
To be sure the drives were still responsive after the Idle 3 timer change, I performed a RAID resync so the ReadyNAS Pro could perform a full rescan of the system drives. On checking the SMART data I can't see anything unusual with the LCC count steady and no errors.
Over the past few hours I've also copied just under 2 terabytes of data via a NFS backup job from an existing ReadyNAS NV+ box. I have been surprised at how responsive the ReadyNAS Pro X-RAID2 shares have been compared to the ReadyNAS NV+ X-RAID ones. Streaming and file access have been fine without skipping a frame while watching test movies at the same time as writing data, even over wireless connections.
Conclusion
So far I'm happy with the way things have turned out using the WD2002FYPS 2.0TB drives in combination with the ReadyNAS Pro. Assuming things progress well and no new drives > 2.0TB are released, I will consider upgrading the drives in my ReadyNAS NV+ units!
In my opinion these 2.0TB Western Digital drives are great and work well with the ReadyNAS Pro, but only if you remember to apply the "WDIDLE3.EXE" Idle 3 timer change beyond the default 12.8 seconds to the WD2002FYPS firmware! :D :) :D :)
[Disclaimer] - This configuration works flawlessly for me as of the date of this post, but may not work for you. Using any advice featured in this thread is at your own risk and may void your Netgear or Western Digital warranty.
