Can someone confirm that these are shipping with NASware 3.0.

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.

Ordered two 2TB Red drives from Amazon in Nov. 2014. Both drives have "NASWare 3.0" printed on the labels.

It was my experience that Newegg used inferior packaging when delivering my drives. I had a horrendous time with them, had to return 3 drives that were shock damaged during shipping. I had no such problems with drives purchased form Amazon. Just my two cents, but it does make cents.

I would guess with about 99.998% certainty....no. You will need to back up those drives. I'd say preferrably, you will buy all new drives for this or any NAS enclosure you're setting up. HTH.

Hello, Sorry I did not notice your question back in 2009. Amazon offers free shipping for more than $25 purchase. You will pay no shipping for these 10 drives. I hope I have answered your questions. Amy/PNY

Since 2.2 is the latest version, I would assume that is what they ship. Mine is more than a year old and not the latest.

AFP yes, QTS 4.1 supports SMB 2.0, Qnap NAS produtct offer better hfs+ support, looks like yes to all three

There are vendors that will sell you this NAS with hard drives already solved - but they tend to be much more expensive than just purchasing and installing the drives yourself.

You are paying for their software, which is arguably the best one. I haven't tried FreeNAS but I would be very surprised if it was better. In any case the enterprise drives are the bigger part of the cost. Also these boxes come with excellent cooling and temperature monitoring.

I ordered 3x3TB versions a month ago and got them within a couple of days. Demand and timing I guess.

Can't answer directly. They are too small to use in my servers hard drive trays to secure the drive so they ended up in my junk bin.

After checking the WD website, I'd say yes they are. They appear to be the current model.

In October, my 7200.11 came packed in two black plastic end-caps suspending it inside a recycled cardboard box. Looks like Seagate standard; at least, it has their HDD model number label on the outside of the box. That should be fine for the drops from most shipping gorillas, but recycled D-flute crushes easier than virgin, so it ought to be inside a second box to ship. (My particular order happened to be inside another box with other items.) The black plastic caps seem like the same plastic as Other World uses to ship their finished-goods external drives.

All transporters are capable of being "2.0". It's simply a firmware upgrade.

Hi D. Petitpas,I was wondering if anyone would ever reply to my post. I didn't know that these drives were shipped pre-formated and I don't think that it is listed in it's description here on Amazon. Thank you so very much for setting me straight!

The red ones are the cheap ones right? Because the cheaper versions are definitely the ones I got. I thought about getting the base model (without the hard drives), but just figured I could upgrade later, as they begin to fail. One at a time hopefully. I love my Synology Disk Station!

I thought they were. I don't have them available right now, as we are moving. You could always check with the company to be sure, or do on-line research.
