Ordering Drobo

Written on the original Movable Type site and recovered from the Internet Archive.

Finally broke down and ordered by Drobo from NewEgg today. Filled it with Samsung SATA 750gig drives instead of 1TB drives because the 750G are $.17 per gig and the 1TB are $.249 per gig. With Drobo utilizing all the storage correctly, it is not a problem to mix and match drives. Just buy the cheapest per gig driveyou can. That typically is the one just smaller than the largest on the market. Today that is the 750g. Go Drobo!
