I am new to NAS and FreeNas. I attended the free NAS Intro class by Linda last weekend.
I am build a small (9TB) NAS for home use on a mITX board with SATA3 ports to store family pictures, video, some classic audio tracks and documents. I find the new WD 3TB Green (Model# WDBH2D0030HNC-NRSN) on sale in my local computer hardware store. Are they good to be used in a RAID5 ZFS ?
The WD Wdidle page states that this utility is designed to upgrade the firmware of the following hard drives: WD1000FYPS-01ZKB0, WD7500AYPS-01ZKB0, WD7501AYPS-01ZKB0.
So wondering weather the newer WD Greens may not to be Wdidled?
Appreciate if anyone please share their knowledge.
Thank you
