WD30EZRX Any problems ?
Its not on the official compatibility list ofc, but im hoping thats just a matter of time. Tho a confirmation from someone thats actually tried one would be much appreciated. This is for an Ultra4 p...
The tool is a self-standing tool (boots on it's own) and is supplied directly from Western Digital. It modifies/configures the firmware on the hard drive to not spin down during idle periods. The ReadyNAS does not do anything with firmware on the drive, so there's no need to worry about conflicts. I can't say I've ever tried installing a drive without running the tool, but based on what I've read, it will run into problems eventually as the ReadyNAS doesn't give the drive enough time to wake up before erroring out - and with it trying to write to all drives at the same time, you're asking for problems.
