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.

The 2-6 TB models are verified, so suspected newer 8 TB also will work, comments on expansion max to 16TB made me choose 8TB vs larger in case could not expand, vs full rebuild.
