If I'd only known about Drobo before buying this POS (maybe a year or so ago)...
This thing is cool...mix and match drives, full redundancy, remove drives and store them...looks awesome, but hopefully it'll come down in price some. The 4TB model (2TB 'RAID1') is at $999.

Of course...after checking the paperwork, I missed any warranty coverage by about 3 months.  |
ugh.. 3 months out of warranty.. give 'em a call ( most hard drives offer 5yr standard warranty) see if they wont work with you on the issue. you might get lucky!
I've read up on the drobo - its very cool, but would be very noisy (drives + fans). oh well.
I've tried backing up 1.5TB to an online storage..it takes forever (free service) but its an idea to kick around.
I like the drobo solution, but then again, with 1TB drives going for $89.. you can buy a second drive to backup with and store it on a shelf.
storing data sucks, but losing it is the pits!
