"Almost, but not quite"
What I like:
Style, Ease of Use, Expandability
What I don't like:
Cost
Review:
Not a bad review, but you might want to mention the Drobo Share which was launched at MacWorld to give it ethernet connectivity albeit at even more cost.
I would like one, but the cost here in the UK is prohibitive. It's got potential but until performance issues as reported on their own forums and the price comes down in the UK I can't see myself purchasing one.
