Server 2012R2 (Essentials) support for Dual Drive Black2

It woulde be nice, if you can support the Windows Server (especially the Essentials Edition) in the Install program (Setup) for the Black2 Dual Drive.

Windows Server 2012R2 is based on the same kernel as Windows 8.1 is. So therefor the drivers should be already there, but unfortentatly the Installprogram cancels the installation at the moment with Error Code 52 (unsupported Windows version).

This drive is in my opinion perfect for a small, economic homeserver (with Server 2012R2 Essentials), so please add support for Windows Server to the WDBlack2 setup program).

Thank you already!

The WD Drives designed for home PCs specifically search for Windows Server kernels… if detected… disables drive…how do I know? If I take the HDD our of the case and put into another case, format and re-partition it works with windows server plug and play no issues. Its a software limit to force people to use their crappy enterprise products.
