The former models with the most recent firmware seem to work somehow: Model: WD2002FYPS-01U1B1 FW: 04.05G05 Seems I have to exchange the drives to get a working array. I got an reply from Western Digital that all my disks have the most recent firmware available. I wonder why I had the very same problem with Seagate Barracuda ES 320GB drives! Thanks again and sunny greatings to brazil.
