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

Hmmm... It could be that the firmware in my drives are "old". It would be interesting to see which version you get when you unpack your drives.

You should still encounter 120 LCC per hour whilst idling. Unless you have tweaked your system's sync timer to less than 24.5 sec. Or wdildle3 actually disables IntelliPark in RE4-GP.
I think it's probably a question the Jedi can answer as far as manufacturer tweaks. I haven't applied any system tweaks, except for actively disabling services that are not required in my environment (Apple Bonjour services, UPNP, etc)
It could be possible that there are other ReadyNAS services (X-RAID2?) that actively access the drives between > 12.8 and < 25.4 seconds.
