"wonderful, flexible and fast"
Pros: nothing else like it and that is a good thing. you will fall in love with how easy it is to use and how useful it is to pool a large capacity storage device that protects your data from bad disks.
Cons: Their update mechanism isn't pretty, but it works. Also wish the activity light was visible through the front panel.
Summary: A great product. I never would have thought of using a product like this until the drobo came out. It is disruptive in that what was once only something highly technical people would be able to use is now available to the non-technical masses like myself.
As for the performance and reliability, I've had no problems with either yet. With copies it feels as fast as any external hard drive and I know all my data is safe, so it has lots of peace of mind. Besides, it is cool looking on my desk and I get a lot of people asking me about it. I think this is going to be a very popular device.
