DSM-G600, DNS-3xx and NSA-220 Hack Forum

Drive:
Vendor: ATA       Model: WDC WD2500YS-01S  Rev: 20.0

Works!

Running it with a Western Digital 1TB Green Power drive. Works like a charm. Transfer speeds seem average for this type of disk - seems pretty much as slow/fast as my WD MyBook World. The specification for the disc is as follows; WD10EACS. Firmware I'm running is 1.02 (box came with it - no upgrades needed to support the drive - which is good, as it seems none are available.)

After loosing one day and half....

The Maxtor DiamondMax +9 120GB (SATA1) is not compatible.

I put a (already listed) 250GB Hitachi hard drive and everything works fine now.

2 Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 1.5 TB works fine with newest FW 1.06

Dell has had monthly coupon codes for first 5000 orders for $99.  These dont have the problematic FW as I expected to why they were selling them off.  Only problem is you can only order 1 per address, so requires some preplanning. If your a new customer you will get a 10% off code that can be combined when you get the second drive, so you end up paying $205 for both drives and free shipping.

I used Ext2IFS to copy over one of my 320gb drives to my new mirrored set.

Vendor: ATA       Model: SAMSUNG HD103SI   Rev: 1AG0
  Type:   Direct-Access                      ANSI SCSI revision: 05

Works!

Does Western Digital WD1002FBYS work on DNS-313?  I found DNS-313 Hard Disk Compatibility list http://global.dlink.com.sg/site_support … 080104.pdf  BUT the cover box says up to 1,000GB?  can anyone confirm that Western Digital Drives work with DNS-313 (especially with WD1002FBYS model) thanks.

I'm using the WD10EADS hard drive, and it seems to be compatible: not any problem during formatting, and idle spin down is working.

Hello everyone!

I'm using Western Digital Caviar Blue 640 (WD6400AAKS) and it works perfectly.
This is the drive I'm using:

How I can check firmware version before buy DNS-313?

Got to the bottom of my issue above. After many many emails and tests Dlink tell me "it appears that there was a hardware change in Rev B which may be causing your incompatibility issue.".

So to cut a long story short, if you get a DNS-313 of type rev H/W:B1; F/W:2.00, do not get a WD green drive. I tried this HDD in 3 different DNS-313 and all powered off during the format process. I went and got a Seagate and all is good. My friends and i brought 5 DNS-313 between us 6 months ago and only I used a WD green drive, they all went with Seagate. I should have too.

Same thing happened to me:
Since I exhausted all free space on my drive mentioned couple posts above, I decided to buy bigger one. First I wanted to buy WD Caviar Blue 1TB/32MB (WD10EALS), but when I got money, my company didn't have any on the stock. Instead, I bought WD Caviar Green 1.5TB/64MB (WD15EARS). And my hell started to show up

Back then I had DNS-313 HW:A2/FW:1.4. It didn't work. I tried several firmwares and It didn't work. Then I decided to exchange this one through guarantee program and to get newer version of the unit: HW:B1/FW:2.0... It didn't work too. The problem is like you described - the unit is turning off in format mode. I tried setting SSC (Spread Spectrum Clocking), OPT1 (SATA-1 mode) and ADF (ADvanced Format) jumpers on the drive, but it didn't help at all.

So I can confirm that this disk WD Caviar Green 1.5TB/64MB (WD15EARS) does not work on DNS-313 HW:A2/FW:1.x or HW:B1/FW:2.0!

Hi... This situation must have changed, because I recieved this particular hard drive (WD15EARS) with my DNS-313 (HW B1, FW2.0), and I got it working with very little trouble.

Zden, how did you manage that? Please, can you tell us, so others can know the solution.
Thank you!

Ok. I'll try your approach and I'll post the results here.

Thank you again for helping us.
