WD20EARS just added on the official HCL - mistake and issues
The official HCL has (quietly !) been updated for Sparc based machines with a 2TB WD desktop class drive: the WD20EARS (http://www.readynas.com/?page_id=82). This is in principle good news as the WD20...
Installed two of these drives and have had nothing but problems. Rather than play the games necessary to see if I can make a compatibility I just tossed the two POS 2TB EARS and dropped in 2TB Seagate normal sectored drives and all is well.
And that's the easiest fix to this issue.
Why Netgear set them to the HCL is beyond me.
Take those POS drives off the HCL until WD changes their method of sector designation. The same model number with a different extension is insane. Like we can tell when we are ordering these POS drives.
Not that Netgear listens to us. :neener:
