  1. I too thought the specs for the Drobo FS made it a good choice over other NAS raids, but it has been a massive hassle, 2 DOA units and the software is buggy, check out the user forum on the Drobo web site to see all the problems before making a buying decision.<br /> I don't use it as my music storage now but as a second home Time machine backup, and it is slow over ethernet.<br /> I prefer an eSATA sonnet fusion JBOD enclosure, with 2x 3TB drives striped together as my 6TB itunes library with another 2x 3TB drives set up as a Time machine copying the first 2 drives.<br /> Normal RAID system use proprietary software so if the unit goes down you cannot access any of the drives unless you find an identical enclosure to put them in,( the striped data problem ) most people only think you need to worry about a single hard drive failing at a time, and don't consider the RAID software as another more serious failure area.
