I've purchased this with the Drobo to backup my PC and photos. I have the 4 slot drives Drobo system in which 2 of the drive is running the 1TB Caviar Green SATA. It runs very quiet and smooth. I'm planning on buying 2 more to complete the remaining two slots. I like the fact that the drives are very quiet with my Drobo and energy saving.

Either drive bay. The other hard drive in the system works OK in either location. Once I can get it recognized again, I will wipe it and return it.
