I've been looking into getting a RAID backup system for my home (my current mixture of Firewire drives is cumbersome and not all backed up) and the Drobo looks quite attractive. I had thought of going NAS too, but cheap NAS RAID (Thecus, Acer Altos, Freecom, Synology) all seem to have mixed reviews and don't necessarily work properly with Apple's Time Machine. The new Firewire Drobo could attach to my main personal computer but I don't know how noisy it is. Nowhere around here has one to 'kick the tyres' and reviews aren't too clear on how much fan noise it makes.
Has anyone actually heard one, and if so how noisy is it? http://www.drobo.com/ Silent Running Maru -- William T Goodall Mail : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web : http://www.wtgab.demon.co.uk Blog : http://radio.weblogs.com/0111221/ "Two years from now, spam will be solved." - Bill Gates, 2004 _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
