Hey,
So Im thinking about purchasing a Drobo as a new External HDD solution. Right now I have two External HDD's and its time to find more space. I wanted something that was FW800, so cheap USB2.0 External HDD's would not work for me. I am really thinking about the Drobo because it will allow me to grow in size quite easily and the Raid 5 style will provide better security. Currently my photo collection is growing 50-75gb a month, sometimes more, sometimes less. These are pictures that I CAN NOT LOSE.
I understand that it is a bit more expensive than some of the other Raid 5 set ups, but the hands off approach really appeals to me. Speed is not a huge concern.
Does anyone have any experience with Drobo's or other Raid 5 enclosures? The FW800 Drobo's go for about $280 without any HDD's.
Thoughts?
Thanks
Dave
