WD20EARS-00MVWB0 - works with NV+ or not?

I have just bought a NV+ which came supplied with firmware 4.1.6. I put the drives in and it all seemed to work fine.
The only problem I did encounter is when copying files from a win2k machine it would create a directory and then copy the file into it but report the share was longer available. It was as if after creating the directory it wasnt ready to be used immediately.
I wanted to upgrade to 4.1.7 anyway so I pulled the 2nd drive to stop the rebuild and then applied the firmware upgrade and let it boot afterwards. Then when I confirmed 4.1.7 was running I did a full factory reset and left it rebuilding overnight. This morning I started copying across 200GB from a usb drive using the win2k machine again without any problems.
