I ordered a Drobo yesterday from Amazon.com, along with 4 Seagate 1.5 Terrabyte hard drives to go in it. All the items are scheduled to arrive today, so I’m both excited and happy, since I’m rapidly running out of hard drive space here.  I’ll post more later about my setup here at home so you’ll understand why I’m burning through disk space so quickly.

I’m a tad concerned about the hard drives due to a lot of negative reviews on Amazon.com, but from what I can tell there is a new firmware out for them to fix the issues of those drives that have problems.  It sounds like drives that were newer in terms of manufacturing haven’t had the issues.  Unfortunately, those drives were the only 1.5TB drives I could find.

Once I get the Drobo up and running and use it for a bit, I’ll post a review.  Anyone else out there using a Drobo?
