"close to perfect"
Pros: upgradeable storage, hot swappable, firewire 800, easy setup
Cons: CNET review(er), Drobo Apps not available yet (hope someone makes an iTunes server), almost too easy to setup you start thinking you missed a step...
Summary: Finally received my Drobo v2 several days ago after waiting 3 weeks... First... Data Robotics service is outstanding, immediately answered all of my questions and kept me well informed on the status of my order. The setup was beyond easy... Popped in 2 x 1TB Western Digital GP drives and less then 10 minutes later I was transferring my entire iTunes and iPhoto library over... The Drobo is very quiet and runs very cool... Although I'm not sure if that has something to do with the HD's I'm using... Lots of information is available at drobospace.com on the forums to get you started... only drawback is the DroboShare is sold separately if you want to network this thing, which I think could've been easily included on the unit itself instead of a separate attachment... other then that 99.9% happy with my purchase... you won't be disappointed...
