One point is not clear. How do you back up multiple TB of data from the Drobo to another HD? I assume you will need several HDs to do this? Also, can you comment on the Drobo's speed? My current media server, an HP Media Vault, is very slow even with an ethernet connection. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tina Manley" <images at comporium.net> To: "Leica Users Group" <lug at leica-users.org> Sent: Saturday, September 11, 2010 10:03 AM Subject: Re: [Leica] Anyone using Drobo > I'm using a Drobo and think it's great.
