Anyone using Seagate ST2000DM001 2TB drives in their NAS?
I was wondering if anyone was using Seagate ST2000DM001 2TB drives in their NAS? I found a lot of mixed reviews on this drive and was wondering if anyone here had any experience with this drive either good or bad?
If so, please let me know what you think and if it had any issues in the Readynas system?
Thanks for your help.

- HERBIEOAspirantYes i am using 1 of these drives and so far no issues after 6 months use, these drives must have firmware CC4H or newer so if they do not then update them before you put them in your Readynas and check the HCL to make sure they are certified for your Readynas > http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/20641

covered with the fact Seagate dropped their warranty period, next time, I'm going WD RED.
see if it's applicable on these units?

if they have similar firmware to the other models & cc32 firmware, from my experience - you're going to be in trouble sooner that later. - StephenBGuru - Experienced UserPersonally I'd get a WD red instead. It is early days with the red line, but so there are very few issues I've seen reported with them. I have a couple, they are working quite well.
