Anyone use this guy yet ? Seems like a fantastic (albeit expensive) way to setup a huge RAID type setup with multiple drives at home for your precious files.

Re: Drobo
Niceee, looks real practic. How can you connect it the PC? USB, Firewire?Comment

Re: Drobo
I believe USB and Firewire, it's not an NAS yet. Plugin any type of SATA drive out of the box and it will build the drive into the RAID automatically.www.mjwebhosting.com

Re: Drobo
its $499 for the Unit alone (drives are extra) but I was looking for more info on the software that controls the RAID / Backup and couldn't find anything meaningful.
Best is if one of the drives fails or is full, the green light turns red, just swap it out for a new one and it'll rebuild itself. No guide rails, plastic clamps, or anything extra required. Drives simply slide in and out.www.mjwebhosting.com

Re: Drobo
I've seen an extremely similar version of this one somewhere for $299. Had the same features on it. I didn't go for it though because it was USB. Fuck that.Comment

Re: Drobo
I wanted one until i saw that it used something resembling RAID 5 and i dont want that. I like having my files safe but i want to be able to decide if they are to be backuped or not, because i dont feel the need to have a backup of downloaded movies and MP3s - you can always download them again. So i bought a bigger computer case, extra controller card and fitted the disks inside of the new case instead.- webbieComment

Re: Drobo
Full size case.
More, larger capacity HDDs.

Re: Drobo
it's award winning. Just buy it. Problem is its USB only, I think future models are coming with RJ45 network connectivity so they can be tucked away out of sight, connected to your router.www.mjwebhosting.com

Re: Drobo
is there any way to configure the raid so that you can have one hard drive dedicated to time machine and the other 3 dedicated to music etc?"pics or stfu" - R.I.P. Steve "Jibgolly" JamesComment
