This is just what I've got a gut feel for, it seems to make sense of
what I've seen on the list ...
"new" drives of 2TB or more have the crippled drive firmware unless you
specifically buy raid.
The original release date of 1TB and less drives predates the crippling,
and the manufacturers haven't bothered to go back and "fix" this.
So 1TB drives - even desktop ones - seem usually to be okay. Anything
over that is suspect.
Cheers,
Wol
Incidentally, any reason for sticking with the same size drives? I'm
looking at replacing my Barracudas and might well upgrade from 3TB to
4TB, just because the price difference is minimal. That's despite /home
only being half full even though I have a 24MP camera ...
