Title: 2TB raid 1 setups?
Post by: jimsy on May 12, 2010, 10:27:25 PM
Hello all,

I purchased a 323 today and much to my current chagrin two WD20EARS (2TB, 64mb cache). It was only after purchasing these drives that I realized unsupported nature. I realize work-arounds have been developed for these drives and their 4k AFT systems but I am not particularly versed in linux and frankly a bit concerned about the long term reliability of these drives in a system that is fundamentally incompatible with them.

That being said, if i were to grab a few of the WD20EADS (2TB, 32mb cache) would these drives be more amenable to runnning in a raid 1 setup? Are there additional challenges to using 2TB drives in these NAS's?

Thanks much for your time and consideration
