I am trying to determine what to buy for my latest build and storage/backup is a huge issue. I do a lot of photography and currently use several external drives to store and backup because I cannot afford to lose some of these images.
I am looking at putting probably 4 - 1TB HDs (Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 ST31000333AS 1TB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive) in my next case but a friend has the Drobo (Data Robotics, Inc.) and it is impressive. Is the extra $500 worth it though if I can fit the HDs in a case with everything else? If I put them in the case I would dedicate one strictly as backup.
Quite frankly I like the drobo but don't want to pay $500 if putting these HDs in my ATX case can achieve the same goal. Maybe I've answered my own question?!
Anyway, I saw some older posts here mentioning the drobo but I am curious as to some newer options and general opinions.
THANKS!
