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...
I'm ready to buy the NV+, but very confused about the hard drive compatibility....
I know the WD20EARS-00S8B1 is in the list, but
a. I don't know if I can get this version; it seems like the current version being sold is WD20EARS-00MVWB0
b. also, the 00MVWB0 consume much less power
So, in either case, I'd like to get the 00MVWB0 version if I have a choice
At this time, because on the list, 00MVWB0 is the best option, the seagate is not a good drive, the hitachi is expansive; and surely for about the same price, I won't get a 1GB drive. And if the 00MVWB0 isn't going to work with the NV+, then really the NV+ doesn't have any good and reasonably priced drive.
Is 00MVWB0 compatible? Is there a definitive answer? Work or no?
