        One of my 320gig hdd's is failing in my home/media server. I'm too lazy and cheap to build a proper raid5 setup so I've been looking around for a better storage solution (other than just doing occasional synctoy mirroring of important folders onto an external usb2.0 drive).

        I've seen drobo mentioned on engadget and slashdot a while back and figured I'd look into it. The newegg reviews are pretty hit or miss, and since most people that write on newegg usually leave comments like "M@De MY FR@G COUNTZ PWNZ N00BZ0RZ!! QuAD SLi IN MY PANTS" I figured maybe I shouldn't buy into everything I read there.

So... anyone read about it? used it? knew someone that used it? had a dog urinate on it?

        Don't need a NAS, need something I can attach on to my horrible rigged dell dimension b110 that has been smitten to peices and turned into a server. Any suggestions would be great!
