The idea is cool, but it just doesn't seem to work (at least not reliably), despite their marketing.


I seem to be having very few problems with mine. Admittedly I am no power user so I haven't even tested the speed over the USB on my Macbook, it's fast enough for me smile

The latest 1.3 firmware seems to have addressed a slight problem I was having with loosing the connection to the Drobo sometimes, and I have found that it is a little happier if it doesn't share a port on my hub. What product doesn't ship these days with the odd bug here and there, they are being addressed by Drobo.

The fan can be quite noisy I suppose, but most of the time when I am using it the fan on the macbook to spun up full anyway (running CS3 is enough to do that on it's own!) Thanks for the tip on changing the fan Rob, I may look at doing that myself ready for the iMac later in the year.

Cheers

Cris.
