When will current 3TB drives be qualified for ReadyNAS?
Many of the HCL 3TB drives are outdated and even discontinued. For example the ST33000651AS has been replaced by the ST3000DM001. You're lucky to find a ST33000651AS with even a 1 yr warranty for $250...
As I said, I have four of these in service. Three were purchased from Newegg and one was purchased from Amazon. All had the identical silvery anti-static bag with a sticker on the outside with the PN on it. When opened, the sticker on the drive did not have the PN but the drive model. In addition, I still have a 5th drive as a spare still in it's original packaging. Here is the link to the Newegg listing of the OEM drive, and here is the link to the retail boxed listing. Click on the images to enlarge them and in addition you can zoom in on the label and read it. Note that the serial numbers have been fuzzed out/whited out. Newegg previously listed the PN 0F12460 as shown on the Hitachi sheet but is no longer listed as they are out of stock.
