Ok, I need a NAS storage solution. I DO NOT want to build anything... no FreesNas, ZFS, etc... I need small footprint, networked, aesthetic, and QUIET. I also need 4/5 bays, RAIDED, and decent speed across the network.
I will be backing up multimedia, computers and occasionally streaming a movie or two from it over the network. For all intents and purposes the Drobo FS fills the bill, however all I read (mostly) are negative things about the Drobo here on [H], but most user reviews are very positive.
Why is the Drobo considered such dreck? Why is it in my best interest to not own one... Help me to NOT buy one. Budget is < $600 (drives not included).
