I had RAID 1 hardware fail (2-disk enclosure). The data was fine on
both disks and if it hadn't been I would have had the usual
assortment of tools to try to repair/recover one or both disks.
I don't know what I'd do if the same occurred with a Drobo disk (and
neither did the Drobo salesperson I asked), in the same or a larger
configuration, other than to call Drobo and hope that they were still
in business, were still supporting my model, would do the repair for
a tolerable price, and wouldn't take too long. That's a dependency I
don't want and don't see any reason to assume.

Drobo is all magic. There's no RAID version to pick because it does
it's own version of RAID - but allows you to swap a drive at any
time for a larger drive. In _theory_ you can add more capcity by
simply adding new, larger drives as you need.
But it is "magic"
RAID 10 is dead simple, but you can't easily just upgrade drive
size like you can with Drobo. I'd go with RAID 10 in a production
environment.

Hi!
Mind something about Drobo... although it may be cool as a
consumer product, it's a little too "magic" for my taste. I doubt
you can have enough control over it to configure it in the RAID
mode you want, and what data is in what disk. But I might be wrong.

Hi All,
Looking for suggestions for an economical (< $1000) "poor
man's" RAID 1+0
4-drive storage solution for a dual 2.0 G5 Xserve that must be
used as a
dedicated database server. It is a cluster node model with just
one
hard-drive bay.
It has Firewire 800 ports and 2 PCI-X slots. One PCI slot has a
video card,
one is empty.
I was thinking possibly of a esata PCIX card with a OWC 4-drive
hardware
RAID rack unit:
http://www.datoptic.com/cgi-bin/web.cgi?
product=eSATA_pcix&detail=yes - $99
http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/hard-drives/RAID/Rack_Mount/
FireWire_eSATA_USB2_RAID
- $850 (includes 4 x 500GB enterprise hard drives)
There will be 2 slaves continuously replicating for additional
data
protection.
Any thoughts or other suggestions?
Regards, Kieran
