Also, would it make that much of a difference in WHS with 32MB vs. 64MB cache? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am one for usually getting the better hardware but in reading info in regards to the 32MB vs. 64MB cache I don't believe there is a difference in the WHS environment. With that said and these drives not being Advanced Format I guess I would be better servered to utilze these drives over the WD Green drives.

With that said and these drives not being Advanced Format I guess I would be better servered to utilze these drives over the WD Green drives. I couldn't agree more. You will never find a WD product in my house. I view them kind of like apple. Instead of trashing the drives that doesn't meet their specs, they just downgraded them to a cheaper version and called them green. Making people think they were good for the environment, really? Okay I exagerate a little. To me this is no different than selling a phone with a known defect and putting a bandaid on it. I don't conduct business with companies like that. Not in my personal life or my work life. They will just cause you headaches later. Sorry, I am off the soap box now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImTheTypeOfGuy Posted February 17, 2011 Author Share Posted February 17, 2011 Are Sata III drives backwards compatable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImTheTypeOfGuy Posted February 18, 2011 Author Share Posted February 18, 2011 Are Sata III drives backwards compatable? Anyone know the answer to the question? If it is unclear, can I buy Sata III drives and connect them to a MB with Sata II ports? I don't want to buy back in technology because eventually my MB will have Sata III ports.

usacomp2k3 Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Yes they are. You can even use them in a SATA1 mobo, you'll just lose some of the features of the drives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Smartepants Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 I just got my 3 in the mail. 1 has a manufacturing date of Dec 2010 and has firmware "180" 2 have a manufacturing date of Mar 2011 and have firmware "580" Does anyone have a link for the updated firmware for my odd-duck? www.hitachigst.com doesn't have any helpful links other than "contact support and request it, but you better have a damn good reason".
