I never heard about Drobo before, but it\'s really cool. Seems much easier than a RAID array.

Check it out beotch!

looks pretty nice for an average dude who needs storage protection.  Not nearly fast enough for what I do, but definitely pretty nice.  I wouldn\'t be able to edit full rez HD very well on USB2.0  I\'d be screaming at the damn thing constantly.

Ah yeah, I hadn\'t really thought about the speed of the damn thing. Oh well. :)

If only it was a bit cheaper, it would be a nice edition for people with lots of photos, music and stuff. I know I\'d like one.

Kept walking in and out of the demo. How do you know where a certain folder is from all those swapping of Hard Drives?

The whole thing works as a single drive. It would show up as, say, "D:" no matter how many drives you swap in and out (at least until you reach 2 TB\'s, in which case it\'ll show up as two drives total).
