I've decided that my pair of Drobos aren't fast enough for me and have ordered a new RAID system.
DROBO One: Holds up to 4-drives and has 2-800 Firewire ports and a USB 2.0 port. I currently have 2-2tb drives, a 500 and a 750.
What you get: The Drobo, power cord and 2-2tb WD drives (1-WD Caviar Black - 1-WD Caviar Green)
Price: $250 plus shipping. I prefer payment with PayPal and will of course pick up the fees.
DROBO Two: This is the Drobo S, 5 drive bays, 1-eSATA, 2-800 Firewire and 1-USB 2.0. I currently have 5 WD 2TB drives in this machine and believe them all to be WD Caviar Green.
What you get: The Drobo, power cord and all 5 drives.
Price: $600 plus shipping. Again I prefer payment via PayPal and will pick up the fees.
I'm right in the middle of a print job and don't have time to transfer the files to the new system and then reformat the drives. That said I feel the earliest I'll be able to ship this to you will be mid next week (April 18th).

In case anyone is wondering - I picked up a G-Safe for traveling and like it so much I also ordered the S-Speed Q for the studio.
