Drobo and Time Machine
Over the past few months I've lightly considered purchasing a Drobo, now that I'm getting close to filling up the hard drive on my MBP I have really been giving it some serious thought. I would like to move my iTunes library and iPhoto libraries over to it and free up the space on my laptop.
I am also looking to upgrade to Leopard soon. I know Apple's official stance is that time machine backups are not supported wirelessly but will work when a machine is "plugged in" to the network. Am I to assume that Time Machine builds a cache of sorts and then moves it over to the network drive one the machine has a wired connection?

The Drobo seems like a good concept, but most Mac users trust a Firewire connection far more than USB for backups. Having bought a USB drive at Costco recently, I now share that sentiment as well.
Now there's a good reason to buy a Mac Pro right there.
