Failed "Expand RAID" process after 4 days. Tech Support said "not on compat list" (ie "you're on your own") No drives over 1Tbyte on the list, so nice get-out. Seems to work generally though.

Flash these RE4-GP drives with at least firmware 04.05G05 for operation in RAID configuration. You can easily fix high LCC counts by use of the WDIDLE3 tool. No real issues encountered with these drives.
