Does this drive have the flawed flash memory chips as identified by synology?

Only a small number, the first production run, had that issue. Virtually all (possible literally all) of the flawed units have been recalled/repaired/replaced. All the units which were still at Amazon from within that first run were recalled and replaced (likely repaired at the factory and re-shipped as new products?). Bottom line - if you buy one today, especially one from within Amazon's inventory, you can feel very safe that your device is free of this defect. I bought mine recently, have had it for about three weeks now, and it's working flawlessly. The only issue I've had is with the installation of the PLEX server, and the "start menu link" to PLEX (but I can start Plex directly, using the link address given in the installer). I would not worry, at all, about bad memory chips at this point.

Nope. I purchased the diskless server as well. The one with disks just ship with WD Reds.

Hi Steve: I Can't verify, already installed in a customer's server. FW revision # looks familiar. I wouldn't bank on getting another drive with the same firmware on a different order - sometimes they are different on the same order. I use the RAID Controller (Adaptec) to update firmware on disks to get them the same.

Yes. But I don't recommend this drive. I got 250 GB of files on it that cannot be read anymore!

I don't know, but you can look up the drive specifications on the Western Digital website.

I'm only using the one drive it came with right now. It might have software raid. You can ask the seller via their support link at deepdiscountservers.com.

I believe no because I don't see where the description of the 11247 at the Bosh site mentions that it uses SDS-Plus bits.

You likely already figured it out by now but for others searching for answers it more likely than not as it should average about 119gb of data. I did have a pny turbo that had 126gb of data but when encountered errors with it the represenative told me 128 drives average between 115-119gb of data so is likely that one was corrupted. . .

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.

Sounds about right. There are a couple of smaller partitions for Chrome OS (ranging from 512 bytes to 64 MiB; I've never particularly liked the term, but it is the correct one when talking about base 2 quantities.) Two 2 GiB partitions, then the main one which is sized at 115 GiB. Then deduct what's been synced from Drive, messing with base 10 and 2 conversions, and some for the GPT partition table. Besides, defective flash memory wouldn't typically fail by indicating lower capacity. Failure modes are more along the lines of: "won't turn on at all", "0 capacity and failure to mount" or "data loss and corruption after writing beyond a certain capacity" (this one can be a little more subtle and will occur when dealing with counterfeit flash cards and the like).

It should. There is one drive that Synology shows as supported for the DS2413+ so far (the Seagate ST6000NM0024), but basically the fact that one 6 TB drive works means that there are no limitations in the HW (SATA controller chips, processor addressing limitations, etc.) or the most recent DSM software that would prevent other 6 TB drives from working. Folks on the Synology user forums are reporting that they are using various 6 TB drives successfully in various Synology models at this time.

Sorry...don't know. I only have a Synology NAS, so no experience on the external USB HDs

The one I bought has hardware raid. I have 4 * 1tb drives installed configured as RAID 5.

Yes it does, you can see a full third party review of the drive here http://solid-state-drive-review.toptenreviews.com/crucial-m500-review.html

It does according to this: http://www.synology.com/support/faq_show.php?lang=us&q;_id=408

It takes flash drives, but I don't know about computer chips. You do NOT want windows 8---it has a lot of issues.

Strange because it worked on two Synology DS1813+ servers that I have with no problem and they should be identical to the 1513+. Must have been the batch you got.
