Hi all,

Can someone tells me if any of the following disks will be compatible with the new ShareCenter Pulse DNS-320?
I cannot find any list on the web.

1) Samsung 2TB SpinPoint F4EG SATA3 32MB
| HD204UI/Z4

2) Seagate 2TB Barracuda Green SATA-600 64MB 7200RPM
| ST2000DL003

3) Western Digital 2TB Caviar Green SATA 64MB
| WD20EARS


Thanks

[TekDes]

Do you think your transfer speed is related to the choice of the HDD?
How did you choose your HDD comparing to others? RPM, CACHE...etc etc

Hi Tekdes,

As mentioning in a thread I posted earlier today ( http://forums.dlink.com/index.php?topic=37454.0 ), I'm using the following disk:

Hitachi 2TB 3.5" DESKSTAR 5K300 SATA 6GB/s Coolspin Hard Drive - 32MB Cache - HDS5C3020ALA6

Also - take note of ftp://ftp.dlink.co.uk/dns/DNS-320/compat_list/DNS-320_CompatibilityList.pdf - which is the most upto date compatibility list.

The disks you've mentioned though:

HD204UI/Z4 - I believe doesnt have direct warranty with samsung, only the reseller - something to be aware of (whether its a grey import i cant say)

I cant say much about the ST2000DL003 - it looks like it may have 4kb sectors which may prove a problem until dlink update the firmware for the dns-320...

I'd also stay away from 7200 drives - too much heat for a small enclosure. The speed benefit of the drive wont be noticed as the max interface speed is 1gbit..

Thanks billb,

I was pointing to the ST2000DL003  specially because of the 7200rpm speed comparing to the 5400rpm.
I though higher the rpm higher the speed on transfer datas. I didn't think about the heating problem.

The link you posted doen't work at the moment!

Just bought the DNS-320 together with 2 HD204UI/Z4.
