Once you build a FreeNAS computer with WD Red drives with NASware 3.0, how do you update the firmware?
Are there any current firmware since release of the drives?
I hear the (WD Red Pro Nasware 3.0 drives) are basically (WD Red Nasware 3.0 drives) with NCQ enabled + 7200RPM, as oppose to the WD Red Nasware 3.0 drives who has NCQ disabled, even though the drive supports it. My question is can we change the firmware on the WD60EFRX to enable NCQ? This will improve the drives I/O performance without paying for the price of the Pro.
