Could it possibly be that they are not accepted because the 1.5TB drives are Desktop (AS) Grade, Not Enterprise Grade drives (NS)?

I heard from somewhere that the 1.5gb drives will never be brought out as Enterprise Grade drives but there was an intention to have a 2TB Enterprise Grade drive once they were "approved" to be classified as NS.

They could have disabled GOS from RAIDing 1.5TB's and 2TB's untill they release a Model Based on larger drives.

Whatever the case; when snaps are introduced with 2TB Drives we should be able to tell what they have done by testing different types of drives...
NS & ES in 1.5's and 2TB's..

Has anyone upgraded a GOS SATA (18000 & greater) SNAP with any size AS drives?
Has anyone upgraded a GOS SATA (18000 & greater) SNAP with 2TB drives?
