I have a Drobo FS on the network in my office. Whenever it gets near full I just order a larger bare SATA drive or two and swap out one of the smaller ones from the box. Usually, the drive swap is done just before I leave for the night so the new drive can be populated from the RAID before morning. Backups are what worry me. I'm using Amazon S3. There are probably better options out there. -dan
