I have an older HP MediaSmart Server running V1 WHS 2003. I understand that the software and perhaps the hardware will not work correctly or reliably with advanced format SATA drives [info right from HP Tech Support]. I need a listing of currently available 2 TB SATA drives that are NOT advanced format. Can anyone supply me with such a list or point me to where I might find same? Thanks.
Hi this page will give you a explanation of the WD hard drive numbers it seems in the blue,green,black drives any drive that has a Z in the model number is advanced format. You can make your choice from that. http://www.wdc.com/wdproducts/library/other/2579-001028.pdf
Many Thanks for the help. A useful resource.
