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Many of the HCL 3TB drives are outdated and even discontinued. For example the ST33000651AS has been replaced by the ST3000DM001.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...

Agreed, it would be great if the some of the currently common 3TB drives would be qualified!

To be exact, these drives would be a great addition:

Seagate
  • ST3000VX000
  • STBD3000200
(the ST3000DM001 and ST33000651AS are already on the list, at least for the NV+ v2)


Hitachi
  • Deskstar 5K3000
  • Ultrastar 5K3000
  • Ultrastar 7K3000
(the Deskstar 7K3000 is already on the list)


Western Digital Caviar Green series:
  • WD30EURS
  • WD30EZRSDTL (note that the WD30EZRS is already on the list, not sure about the difference)

  • WDBAAY0030HNC
(the WD30EZRX is already on the list)
