Basically my home file server w/ movies, music, and software.
If I remember correctly the price for those 3 items is about the same as what my Drobo originally cost, the only difference is better performance, and not being able to expand data storage on the fly, although since it's just a backup I really don't care too much.
I was thinking about it this morning, and decided that I really didn't need to end up w/ two different backups (I can be a little on the paranoid side somedays.) So I'm thinking once this comes out of backorder, to grab one and use it until I beef up my backups to where I can rotate the drives, at which point I will get a second one.
I was also thinking about getting a Sonnet eSata card to help speed the backups up, it's only $50, and it's rated at roughly 110mb/s read and write on raid 0.
Overall if you can't tell I'm just a little paranoid, and hate slow backups. _________________ this is the internet.
