N5200B Pro with WD5000ABYS Harddrives?

[Death Warrant]

Hello

My new N5200B Pro is on the way and I bought now 5 drivers of WD5000ABYS (march 07 production date).

Do you have any idea if this harddrives will work in raid 5 (4 drives + 1 spare) mode. In the past I heard some rumors that the Western Digital drivers will have a lot of problems in RAID mode. I heard something about RAID failures...

Anyone outthere who can confirm that the WD5000ABYS drivers will work with my N5200B Pro?

Or is there a firmware upgraded needed on the harddrives. I have found one on the WD website but that is just for WD5000YS and not for WD5000ABYS and the date is january 07, but I'm not sure what to do!


I'm glad if anyone can help me out with this. Thanks a lot!!!!

Dear Sir,

Due to we have no the WD5000ABYS on the hand to verify for you, thus we can't confirm the compatibility for your.......

Hi there, I found a complete hard drive compatibility chart for my Thecus 4100+ (which was a good thing I did - I nearly bought the wrong drives), so perhaps on the Thecus website under "specifications" you will be able to find a similar PDF?

Dear Sir,
