firmware : 2.1.09
raid 5 with ext3 format
Hello all,
Does anybody try hitachi 2tera hard disk ?
Can i have some feedback ?
Some weeks ago i look @ the official hard disk compatibility from thecus official site and see that WD 2Tera green was not a good idea (multiple thread on issues). The hitachi 2 tera was marked as tested but with a scary firmware (3.x.x) that cannot be downloaded yet.
Of course, i have the opportunity to own 5x2tb hitachi and decide to go for the order.
Now that i received them, i watch again the compatibility list and discover that...thecus take out hitachi 2tb form the list :-(
I decide then to take a go and swapped my spare thecus from 5x1tb F1 samsung to 5x2tb Hitachi hoping that it will works (and thinking that thecus cannot handle green technology - hitachi 2tb is fixed 7k2 speed)
After making short test on each hard disk, decide to build one raid 5 in ext3 format.
As i know that it will take a while, i would like to share some experience
thanks for your help.
and i will make my best to give you all information in 48h i think
Only hope that it will work.
Regards
