Which HD for Qnap TS-219P?

[wolfh1045]

I know Qnap have a list of recommended hard drives on their site but I've read people having problems with some WD green HD's. So what HD would this forum recommend for Qnap 219P based on their real world experience? I am looking for 1.5 or 2TB drives thats quiet and reliable

Thanks

HD for 219P

I'm a newbie but I recently bought 3 Samsung Spinpoint F2EG HD15UI 1.5TB 5400RPM drives for my 219P. 1 went into an esata external Drive Bay for backups of the 219P. I'm pretty happy with them no problems so far. I'm pretty picky about noise and these don't seem to bother me, they aren't silent but its not too bad.

Here's a link, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822152175

Though some may have problems with this drive, I think a recent QNAP firmware update worked around a RAID issue by disabling NCQ for this drive. NCQ isn't as helpful except for larger scale multiuser disk access patterns. I'm using 2 WD green 2 TB WD20EADS drives in a TS-219P without any problems. They are quiet, cool, and perform good for what I use them for (backups). For a high-end file server, there are faster HD options, but they generally use more power and are louder.
