Drobo! (Photo credit: pixelthing)
There is a discussion of the question of whether to go with a Drobo or some other type of external storage over at the Macrumors forum. The discussion deals with the question of whether the Drobo is reliable enough and what sort of speed you can expect when running a Drobo. As with most discussions about the Drobo, there are a range of opinions. One writer states that Drobo tends to be polarizing:
Drobo seems to polarise people's opinions so much. It seems to have this reputation for not being considered a serious but of kit.

Other writers have had good success with the Drobo. It should be noted that much of the discussion concerns the Drobo 5D which is a DAS, not a NAS. The full discussion can be found starting
