Why do I need 6 TB of space?  Well, because Drobo does data protection I won’t actually get to use all 6 TB of that space, but I’ll be using it to store media on.  I have a distributed media system here in the house (which I’ll outline in a later post) so I need lots of storage to store all of our DVDs and recorded TV on.  It’s a pretty cool system that works really well, but it does suck up the hard drive space, that’s for sure!
