WD4000FYYZ
Any news on certifying the Western Digital 4TB RE Drive (WD4000FYYZ) with 516/316? Thanks.
WDC specs the WD4000F9YZ at 9.5W for random I/O, they spec the WD4000FYYZ at 10.9. So the WD4000FYYZ will run hotter and draw about 8 more watts if you have 6 of them.

They are also noisier than the WD40EFRX and the Seagate ST4000VN000 (about 6 dbA)
Note I'm not saying they won't work - I don't have an RN516, and have no personal experience with these drives. Just answering your question on potential issues after looking at the datasheet...
