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.

Nice drive when it works. I am trying it in a PowerMac dual G5, which has 2 hard drive bays.
Sometimes the OS finds it, sometimes it doesn't.
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.

Drive arrived in a timely manner, but proved unusable for me. The description failed to mention that this drive does not have the traditional power connector, only the newer style SATA power connector.

[...] I Installed the drive in my iMac the same day it arrived. Too soon to comment on reliability but it is reasonably quiet and I have not noticed any particular performance problems.
