I agree that Wiebetech RAIDs are top notch, but expensive. I own two, and they have been fantastic, and the company support is terrific. Take a look at what Lloyd Chambers has to say about the Drobo. He absolutely shreds it on a performance basis. http://macperformanceguide.com/Reviews-Drobo.html I think Drobos are terribly overpriced and overhyped.

However a Weibitech RTX200 set at RAID 1 or RTX400 set at RAID 5 offers superior redundancy and back up. I am a fan of the idea of the Drobo.

I need to see some user reviews first to justify that price. I hope the they include the feature “Affordable” in the Drobo S. I need to see some user reviews first to justify that price.

At $319.95, after rebate, this is the cheapest I’ve seen this model yet. If you’ve been thinking about picking up a Drobo, now might be the time to do it.

It would be nice if someone could figure out a more ironclad way to make sure that your data is safe.
