@SaudiMac

Yeah

And it's *still* cheaper to use Aramex than other means... I have a 95lb package on it's way..OUCH

Well still no need for Drobo 1 owners to feel too bad, it's an amazing device. I've got one humming along under my desk right now with 4x500GB disk, producing around 1.4TB or redundant and protected storage.

Yeah, we actually have two in the office, they're great. They're used for backups which we do mostly at night so speed (USB vs FW) is not a huge issue.

Yes, I've seen DroboShare, but you don't need it with the USB Drobo, just plug it into Airport Extreme.

I've emailed them asking about shipping directly from them, hopefully I get a good price
