I'd like to share my success with the WD20EFRX.
Installed cold, factory reset. X-RAID. Rsync took about 6-8 hours. 4K aligned normally. Restored 400GB of data.
Been running for around 600 hours, no problems. Performance averages around 25-30MBps Read / 15-20 Write. This is slightly faster than the 7200RPM Seagates I replaced. Streams HD content flawlessly. They spin up very fast and are silent and cool.
I definitely recommend the WD20ERFX drives for the ol' ReadyNAS Duo V1.
