I have a cpl of 2TB WD Green drives that I wanna use to expands two PVRs at home. From what I've heard these drives are not the best for this purpose, and I need to get the AV-GP version which is physically the same drive, however, has a different firmware...

Now, is it possible using a tool to over-write Green's firmware with AV-GPs? or at least change some parameters (like not to error check as much) to make them more suitable for PVR usage?

Thanks
 
Thanks, Now, what about changing parameters on the WD Green? I know the Intellipark can be disabled or modified, what about other values? Can it be forced to do "less" error checking? I think that's the main difference.
