Posted by smurfin on Jan 22, 2009, 5:59pm Hi I'm looking to run a 5 drive RAID5 array, using WD Caviar Green 1TB drives (WD10EACS). Is this supported at all, or will I possibly run into problems? (all the reviews I've read state that the max supported HDD size is 750GB). Torn between this and the Q-NAP TS-409 Pro at the moment.....
Thanks
I am running the WD10EACS drives in Raid5 on my n7700 with no issues thus far.

I have just bought 5 1TB Western Digital WD10EADS Drives to replace my 5 320GB Seagates in my 5200 PRO but I want to know for sure this is going to work. Has anybody successfully used WD10EADS drives in a Thecus 5200 PRO unit? I hear they might have problems of dropping out of the array when they lower their voltage and go into power saving mode.
I have looked at the latest compatibility lists from thecus and see that it is not there yet for the 5200 PRO but it is for the Thecus 7700.
All help on this would be greatly appriciated.

Update on this one... I sent this compatibility question to thecus and the reply was: Thanks for your mail.
WD10EADS is compatible with N5200.
Best Regards!!

WD20EADS works with Thecus N5200 (non pro). 3 drives in a raid 5 setup. Running Firmware Version 2.00.01 Hi grosler: This is great news for me given that Thecus are claiming that the N5200 (non-pro) can't handle drives bigger than 1 TB. www.thecus.com/Downloads/N5200_N5200PRO_1U4500_FWRN_v20109.pdf "N5200 standard version doesn’t support HDD bigger than 1TB"
Have you had any further issues with the WD20EADS (WD 2TB green drives) since your post? Have you moved to Firmware 2.01.09 ? Any issues? I'm trying to figure out if Thecus is warning against using drives bigger than 1 TB drives at all, or just migrating to them as I would need to (I currently have 0.5 TB drives). Thanks.

Hi all,
The WD15EADS (same for WD10EADS/WD20EADS) is on the compatibility list. What does this mean? Does it work 100% out of the box or:
- Do I still need to manually enable TLER to avoid disks dropping out of the RAID due to powersaving of the disks?
- What about load cycle count going through the roof due to parking after 8 seconds, which is reported in many forums? Is this a problem as well on the Thecus n5200 pro?
I just ordered 3 of these to start a raid 5...
Thanks for any feedback!

I just replaced one of the drives in my N5200BR (the original old N5200) with a Samsung HD154UI 1.5TB and it works fine.

I just setup my Thecus N5200 (non-pro) with 5 Samsung 1.5TB HD154UI in RAID5 with no issues. Took a while to build, but its stable and functioning going on 72 hours now......the total time I have owned the unit.

I just purchased a Thecus N5200Pro and Qty. 2 Hitachi HD32000, which is a 2TB 7200 RPM Sata drive. I had no issues installing the drives in the N5200Pro.
My question now, is what is the best way to measure the performance of the the Thecus read and write speeds?
Right now I am running a Raid 0 configuration and copying data from my workstation (Gigabit) directly the the N5200Pro. According to Windows 7 (Microsoft's Copy Speeds) I am copying at a rate of 35.8 MB/second.
Any recommendations on utilities to test performance of the NAS, and is 35 MB/second average write speed on a Raid 0 configuration?
Thanks for any feedback. The user group convinced me to buy the Thecus product, and I am happy so far.

Hi there, I have a N5200B Pro with Firmware Version 2.00.16. Allready build two raids the first is two 750GB Hitachi HDS721075KLA330 FW.:GK8O at RAID 1 and three 500GB Hitachi HDP725050GLA360 FW.:GM4O at RAID 5 Now I'm running out of space and think of upgrade to 2GB Hitachi drives. Does anyone have experiences with Hitachi HDS722020ALA330 2 TB (Deskstar 7K2000, 24/7).. Sadly, just 1TB Disks from Hitachi are in the HCL for a N5200 Pro Hope you could help, then I have a great Holiday Gift for me this year Thanks a lot
