I've had no problem at all with any WD drives. I have had problem with seagates. I will buy WD over Seagates. The last HDs I have gotten from Seagate have a terrible seek problem, which does impact performance of a RAID5. The GOS units seam to work with just about any HD you want to use. OS version have nothing to do with HD working, this is a hardware issue not software.
