I was using two 500G standalone drives, twins with data copied from the working drive. But I filled them recently ... Now I've got two 2T RAID 0 drives, being backed up the same way. I considered configuring as a RAID 1, so they'd be doubly redundant. I now have three copies of the data most of the time: on the working drive, and one copy on each of the backups. > The Drobo is doing quite well for me, though I haven't had a drive > failure yet, so I haven't had > to test it. Seems a darn good unit, based on the comments I've been hearing. Keep us informed as to how you find it over time.
