I am not sure how the USB3-attached Drobo would work in this context. What is your take, guys? Theoretical USB3 performance would be satisfactory, but will USB3 deliver what it promises?
I have a Drobo S hooked up via USB 3.0. While it's leaps and bounds faster than my previous Gen 2 Drobo over FW800, the Drobo isn't going to saturate the USB 3.0 interface. Not even close. I would never host a VM on a Drobo, that's for sure.
I'm sure there are benchmarks available somewhere, but I can do some unscientific testing if you want.
