No longer a problem... there were early problems with Samsung, Seagate and Western Digital. Now all work fine... On the Western Digital, order the one labeled Black, not the ones labeled Green or Blue. Seagates all work regardless. Samsung is not quite up there with these other two yet. Avoid the TriGem, Maxtor, and Hitachi. They may be good, but we do not know... as there have been too few reports.
