Advantages: Well designed. Easy to install. Clear LED display. Disadvantages: None.
The Drobo unit is packaged extremely well and it's nice to know that the unit is unlikely to be damaged during delivery.
Setting up is a doddle. Just slide in some Serial ATA drives, connect either the firewire or USB cable and you're ready to go. You can install the Drobo Dashboard for more detailed monitoring but it will work without the software. I recommend you update the firmware online before loading up with data, as certain bug fixes make it run faster.
My Drobo is attached via USB to an Apple Time Capsule, and works perfectly as a NAS in this configuration. However I recommend loading with data directly from the host computer via firewire for speed.
Good points :-
- Well designed
- Simple installation
- Clear LED display
Bad points :-
- None! ...
Advantages: none Disadvantages: brokes and burns everything is connected to it
My incredible story with a Raid LaCie Biggest Quadra Fw 800.

Mac fixed it for free but still I had to pay 700? to fix the Powerbook.
Well, I put the brand new Raid LaCie Biggest Quadra Fw800 on my desk and I saved there all my last 5 years of work as a photographer. I also configurated it in raid 5. I didn't make any back up because:
1) I ...
Advantages: Huge amounts of storage, durable, can take game saves everywhere. Disadvantages: Price.
The Xbox 360 120GB removable harddrive is a great item to buy for any Xbox 360 gamer. The larger harddrive has become even more useful with the coming of the ability to buy or rent movies via the Xbox Live Marketplace. Considering each movie is around 1GB in size (and even larger if downloaded in HD) conventional size HardDrives will rapidly be eaten up.
The removable harddrive is also extremely easy to use, it slides clips on the size of the Xbox 360 console, and absolutely no further setup is required. It is equally as easy to remove, you simply have to push in the button and lift it out of position. Its relatively small size then comes in handy, as you can carry it to your friends house and fit it on their console. All of your game saves and your gamercard can now be accessed on their console and provided they have access to ...
