Looks like my EADS drives are aging prematurely because of the green technology. They spin down after 8 seconds apparently and in a Drobo, this means they keep spinning up and down and effectively wear out faster. There are a few posts on the forums about this on the web. So, the moral of the story may be to avoid WD green drives for Drobo or other RAID type applications.
