coppit Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 I thought this device from Drobo was interesting in that it seems to follow the same non-RAID strategy as unRAID. It also has "pooled virtualized storage" which sounds a lot like unRAID's user shares. Quote Link to comment
erikatcuse Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 I'd pass 700 bucks no drives and can only hold 4 of them....no thanks Quote Link to comment
aitf311 Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 It definitely wins the 'cool factor' But...for things such a practicality, storage amount, budget, ect...lime technology wins hands down. unRAID needs a marketing push like Drobo has. Quote Link to comment
coppit Posted April 11, 2007 Author Share Posted April 11, 2007 I agree on the price, open-ness, and capacity benefits of unRAID. But lots of people would pay a premium for ease of use, UI, and minimal hassles. My motherboard's NIC died, for example. If this were a Drobo box I'd send it back, and you can bet that V2 of their box would not have chosen the wrong component like I did. For a long time people had to pay extra for Macs, and were happy to do so. Quote Link to comment
