No. Your application, "backup drive", is exactly one scenario that the Greens were designed for. These are the same drives that WD puts into their various external USB/eSATA enclosures now, which are what most folk buy for backup drives.

Mark, that's exactly the reason why I'm interesed in these drives as well. But I'm wondering: could I use one of those '4k' drives in a RAID array, while the other disks are not 4k drives? Or is this a recipe for disaster? (also, the same question goes for my Windows Home Server, which is not actually RAID, but uses a 'storage pool')
