Storage robot at your service: a review of the Drobo

Storage robot at your service: a review of the Drobo

Drobo Specifications Page

Data Robotics' Drobo seems to be a good compromise on performance in order to gain simplicity and flexibility vs. a straight RAID setup. Data Robotics is really going after the serious amateur for storage, targeting that range between a plain-jane consumer and a professional with a larger budget. They appear to have included enough brains and power to hide most of the data shuffling going on behind the scenes, even in cases of failure.

I plan to look at this product as I move from a simple automatic backup solution between stand-alone drives. I do wish there was a better interface than USB2.0. I would prefer something like Firewire 400 (or 800) that is not such a CPU hog.
