Thanks a lot capt.fruitcake, I was almost about to buy a "Seagate FreeAgent Go 320 GB" for $74.00. Glad to hear the WD drive works, more GBs for less $. Can't complain there!
Maybe somebody should add it to the Wii USB Devices Compatibility List so people will know. Thanks again for the info.
Newegg has Western Digital Elements 500GB drives for only 69.99

Does anybody know if it is compatible with the WII? I see on the compatibility list it has a "WD Elements 500GB (WD5000E035)" marked as fully compatible. This however...
I finally modeled and 3d printed the new HDD cages I need in order to build my 2nd NAS. Original ones don't fit the mounting holes on the hdds I'm using. Been sitting on this project for over 2 years smfh
Also another 70TB going in the front mount drive bays of this server. 182tb raw, going to probably use a zfs RAID-Z3 for 3 parity disks, so 140TB usable
I could claw back 14tb by only doing 2 parity disks but I feel like with 13 disks in the RAID I'd be kind of pushing my luck on rebuild time if I encounter a disk failure
