I still have over 50% of the space free so no need to drop drives into the 2 empty drive bays yet. I'll wait until I need more storage and buy whatever the best GB/$ ratio drive is available at that time. Right now it is the 1TB drives but in a year it'll probably be something much larger. The Drobo rocks. You don't even need to turn it off to add, remove, or replace a drive and can drop in any combination of brand/sizes/etc, no matching required. I have 2 x 1TB drives in my Drobo.
