Approved for use in ReadyNAS DuoApr 05, 2009
Netgear-approved drive for the ReadyNAS Duo. Bought this as a second drive to my 500GB Duo. Duo recognized it immediately after installation, no problems for at least two months now.
One note: it does appear to run 5-10 degrees F warmer than the stock Seagate drive that shipped with the Duo, but nothing out of the ordinary.
Western Digital 500GB RE3 Sata 7500rpm RAID HDDMar 11, 2009
Have three runnig in an RAID 5 config, (must have minimum 3 drives for RAID 5). These drives are silent, run fairly cool and are quick. Not knowledgable enough to discuss the technical aspects but suggest you visit the Western Digital site and explore the Enterprise RE2 and RE3 technical info. RE2 and RE3 enterprise drives are recommended for RAID configured server applications. The differnce between RE2 and RE3 you ask? From the DATAMATION web site, "The RE Series drives are currently offered in three flavors: The previous generation RE2 drives, the next generation RE3 drives (with a dual processor design that increases the drive's performance 20% beyond that of the 2nd generation drives), and the RE2-GP, or "GreenPower" drives which feature power conservation features including Intelliseek (calculates the optimum speed of the actuator arm to reduce wasted movement), Intellipower (balances the actual spin speed of the platter to match needs and consumes less power on start up), and Intellipark (unloads recording heads during idle). Intelliseek is also featured in the RE3 drives".
They work great in my small network storage/retrieval application. If you're looking for absolute speed, check out the Western Dig VelociRaptor 10,000 rpm series while you're at the website.

Exceptional Hard Drive!Nov 25, 2008
Western Digital Bulk (WD5002ABYS) Western Digital Serial ATA (SATA II)Caviar Raid , RE3 3.5" Interna
This is an exceptional hard drive. It is rock-solid, runs cool, and is a raid edition model, so it has the 5 year warranty.
The RMA process with Western Digital hard drives is second to none....
Thanks!
