[REVIEW] Drobo

[David Cantrell]

I considered the Drobo when I started doing my current round of storage
upgrades, mostly because Simon told me to.  I decided not to go with 'em
because they're too expensive, and also because I need FW400 temporarily
(because my current fileserver only has that and USB 1).  I went with
one of these:

There's not much to say about it.  It works, it's mostly silent, and
it's cheap.

I'll be buying more of 'em.  To have enough of those to satisfy my
storage needs for the next coupla years is cheaper than buying a Drobo,
some disks for it, and then *another* Drobo and more disks so I can keep
backups.
