Has anyone installed and run successfully the new Western Digital 4k sector drives such as the WD15EARS ?
Does the file format of the DNS-323 take advantage of the 4k sectors?

Dlink links says the 32 cache version is compatible... but not a lot of detail.

Thanks for the info. I'd noticed the "ADS" versions up there. I guess the ARS ones are too new.
At this point, I'm also considering the Seagate 7200.11 1.5tb drives as they would be faster than the Western Digital Green drives. However, I'm not sure if I'd notice the speed difference when streaming video from the NAS.
Has anyone done tests to see if 7200 drives are noticably faster than Green drives in a DNS-323 NAS?

I did
1 X Western Digital WD15EARS Caviar Green 1.5TB SATA 64MB Cache in EXT2
Current Firmware Version : 1.08
Firmware Date : 11/25/2009
It runs since yesterday. Long to format!

Is your drive still running well?
How long did it take to format?

hi,
I have for 1 days running 2 X Western Digital WD15EARS Caviar Green 1.5TB SATA 64MB Cache in EXT2.
I can swap easily one of the new HD to my old HD Seagate, I noticed that my 'add-on' setting disappeared if using the new 2x new HD.

Hey,
Is it still running fine?
I have the DNS-321 and am thinking about buying this drive

I've got an EARS 1 GB drive. No issues. Though I'm not taxing it.

I got 2 X Western Digital WD15EARS Caviar Green 1.5TB SATA 64MB Cache today and plugged them in, got the "format" message and attempted to format them. The format failed with an error message and I was prompted to restart. Upon restart, the drives did not show up at all. I used one of my external enclosures (eSATA) to check the drives. One appears to have failed immediately, and the other looks fine to Win7, but once I put it back in the DNS-323 it will not format. Status shows that a drive is inserted, but I cannot format it and the "Physical Disc Info" section will not show any info for the disc. It won't even show the side that it is inserted in. (ex. Drive is in "right" slot and only "left" is showing.
I have updated and then downgraded firmware, formatted the disc in Win7 using Acronis Disk Director Home in EXT2 and even completely deleted all partitions. Anyone else run into this or have a thought for a solution?
