Lots of good advice in there. I'm going to experimentmwith the Drobo I bought as a first effort. Should be in my hands in a week.
and please report, the drobo seems very promising, but the modern versions are not cheap :-)
Agreed on the expense. I've wanted one for yeara, but couldn't justify the cost.. The unit I just bought I got for less than 10 percent of the new cost. But it seems to have all the features I was looking for.
I would have stayed away from the black magic and just done it in Linux with LVM and mdraid, but let us know how you fare.
My biggest unanswered questions are: how big a drive (in TB) will it accept? How big of a logical volume can it build?
Surely the specs document that quite clearly? It's the typical bit of leverage that make people buy the bigger/next one.
When released in 2010 it was 2TB drives max, and the biggest volume was 12GB I think. In 2013, they released a firmware update to 4 TB / 16GB. I hope they have done another upgrade since then, but I haven't researched it as much as I could have. I didn't really expect to win the bid at $150.since they were over $2K new.
