Let me ask Nuc... why not just get couple of 2 Tb drives? They're cheap now. That Drobo is only 3 Tb max... IF you could get the 15 Tb for that price I could see it.
Question 2: If it has 5 bays, why is it only 3Tb ??
Now the 5 bay Network model is on sale for only $100.00 more than I paid for my 4 Bay.
Don't fret it. Not only is network backup still flaky, unless you have a complete gigabit network it can be an effort in frustration and functionality.
When it works right it's great, but when is the key word.
I wasn't so interested in the Network aspect so much as that with 5 drives if you have 2 go down at 1 time you're ok. Not so sure with the 4 bay model.

If I'm reading that right, $529.95, the price is sans HDs though.
OK.. it's been 15 months and all is well. I have used 1.11 TBs and have 2.94 left. When I get closer to being full I will start tossing out less relevant jobs that are older than 3 years.. and also some raw files and just keep the processed ones. I have a lot of HD video on here that I converted to MP4s and I have most of all the family photos (wife has 50+GB alone). There was an incident where I accidentally unplugged the unit from back of iMac and it went fubar for a few minutes (unrecognizable). A quick call to support and was well.
