I just purchased this unit without realizing there is a HDD compatibility list. I was thinking of installing of WD Caviar Green HDDs in this unit. It appears they are not on this list. I was planning to do RAID 1. Am I out of luck which I need to return this unit? The model #s are: WD20EARS-00MVWB1 (2TB) and WD10EARS-00Y5B1 (1TB).
Another hard drive to add to the DNS-325 list...I installed two Seagate Barracuda ST3000DM001, 7200.12, SATA, 3TB about a month ago in RAID-1 configuration. The only issue was the firmware, which I had to upgrade to 1.02 before it would recognize the larger hard drives. Curiously, the drives are marked on the box as STBD3000100. But the DNS-325 reports the first number I listed above.
Add WD25EZRS-00J99B0. 2.5TB WD drive. Used for about 2 weeks in standard type configuration. Now using it in a RAID1 setting along with the WD20EARX (2TB WD), which also is working just fine. Both are SATA 6G.
