Yes indeed I already found this with one of the new 1TB drives I got as this was a Green drive.  I had to copy all the content of one of my simple in external USB box drives off so I could get to use a standard Seagate Barracuda 1TB drive in the Drobo unit.

The Drobo continues to misbehave with not seeing drives in all slots.
