I understand the hard choice you have here, and I'm in the same boat. I ordered 4 of these drives last week while they were on the HCL, and now that they have arrived I see they are off the list. Based on my experience with the WD1000FYPS drives I'm running I don't have faith that Netgear can push a hard drive vendor to fix their firmware. So I guess I will need to send these Seagate drives back and continue running my existing drives that were also removed from the HCL. :cry:

Sorry about that Snipes. We just had to remove them because of the steaming issue that a user reported and we reproduced it in house. All the other drive qualification tests passed without a problem. There is even a work around for his issue if you disable the write cache then you will not see the video stuttering. This of course is not the greatest workaround because you will loose performance. We have a great relationship with Seagate so I have a good feeling this will get resolved quickly.
