I've had problems with Greens on servers/RAID before (not on this machine, though), so I was wary of them and bought a bunch of 4TB Reds that work great so far (about 4 months in). Combined storage spaces over 6TB are no problem - my RAID 5 is just under 12TB total, and you could go much higher with larger drives and a different configuration.

Save your money and try the Synology DiskStation 2-Bay (Diskless) Network Attached Storage DS212j (White) It is more for home use. It is also DLNA certified. Product website: http://www.synology.com/products/spec.php?product_name=DS212j〈=us. Also, save your money and don't get the Western Digital Red NAS Drives. Use the WD Green drives instead.

Before I bought mine, I checked the Buffalo website. It can vary depending on when you buy it and the size drives you get. Mine came with Western Blue drives.

Short answer...yes. The WD Red Series are meant for use in NAS devices and the WD Cloud Ex2 actually comes with them installed as an option. If you are getting the diskless version then these will also work. Not sure if your concern was more from using smaller size 1TB disks, but that is not an issue. The concern comes more from not exceeding the maximum disk size the controller can address...using smaller capacity drives will not pose a problem.

I just ordered 6 WD Red 3 TB drives, and received 6 of them today. The ones I've received so far all claim on the label to run NASware 3.0.Edit: Just received the last 2, and they show NASware 3.0 badging as well.

I am migrating to the WD Red drives. I have the 3 TB versions and will start using the 4 TB versions as I upgrade. I had Seagate Barracuda 2 TB ST2000DM001's installed and they have been failing VERY consistently. I deployed the Seagate's at work in a DS1511+ and have had similar issues with them there. I am replacing them with WD Reds. I wanted the higher spindle speed of the Seagate's but to have them failing so much I'm never using them again. Thankfully I recovered before we had a catastrophic failure.

Has been working fine currently with 4 x WD Red 3 TB NAS Hard Drive: 3.5 Inch, SATA, RAID, ESXI 5. The spec should be on HP support site http://h20565.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/public/psi/home/?cc=us〈=en&sp4ts.oi;d=5379860&ac.admitted;=1397833615906.876444892.492883150

Yes but not "Green" harddrives. Didn't realize this until I tried to get one to work.

WD says that greens will work and nothing else. I have a feeling that has to do with the lower power consumption. I have heard horror stories about green drives and WD software has said my drives have gone bad, but the drives read and write just fine. I love the raid setup and dont know why anyone else hasn't continued this setup at this price point ( I bought mine used for a little less than $100)
