Advice On Drobo or DroboPro? LR24 Mac...

Anyone have problems with Drobo or DroboPro?

I have 2+TB of images, that is growing and will continue to do so.

Thinking of a solution where I use my internal HD (2.7TB Raid 5) for active clients / jobs and then using a Drobo or DroboPro for less active or archived clients / jobs. Also, will get a 2nd one to backup whole thing (Internal HD + active Drobo or DroboPro).

1. concerned about iSCSI - anyone have any experience - speed or connection issues

2. concerned about DroboPro since its new - any experiences out there?

3. concerned about configuration - is this the best way to go or are there better solutions that anyone is using for large image solutions?

I welcome any input great or small.

Thank you,

Stewart

Thanks Ian.

The link was helpful but as always I want more:) would be nice to hear experiences from people who have deployed DroboPro and how its working. Throughput sounds elusive.

I ordered the DAM book, it will be here on Tuesday and I'm hoping it helps out a lot on my other questions asset management - looks like a good one.

Thanks again for taking the time to help me.
