Storage and drobo
Hi
I currently have 4 usb external hard-drives (2x 320gb, 2x 500gb) which I use for time machine backup of two machines, and storing other large files. One of these seems to be slowly dying and so I've been giving some thought to what I should replace it with. The problem is that all of the large projet files on these drives aren't backed up anywhere else, and I can't afford to do a complete duplication of each drive.
I've seen drobo (link) which looks like it could be exactly what I need, but the price is a little offputting (I'm still a student). Has anyone used it or have any advice on other good systems?
thanks

don't expect a speed demon.
They recently had a $100 instant rebate going. You may want to see if that's still going on.
