Which HDD for my Ultra4
Hi, I needed something quite and energy efficient, speed would be good as i dont want anything too slow. I was thinking of the Green 2TB HDD's, though these are 5400rpm..will this be too slow? ...

Folks are using this drive successfully. Though it is not presently on the hardware compatibility list, which means that you won't get Netgear support on disk-related problems. Netgear hasn't said if the drive has issues, or if they simply haven't tested it. Personally I wish they would as the older EARS (which is on the list) is no longer being produced.

There might be a slight slowdown with a 5400 rpm drive, though in practice the disk transfer speed is very close to what you can get on a single gigabit connection anyway.
