Other NASes can do that, my Infrant/NetGear for example. If you buy a 
dedicated NAS try and buy a spare PSU at the same time....

The thing that is attractive about the Drobo is that it can be scaled up, 
while running, with drives that are mismatched in capacity - that is not a 
feature of any other system I have studied and helps me deal with the 
effective re-use of internal drives now too small for my Mac Pro. I'm 
assuming that the parity data is compressed somehow, since the net 
capacities are higher.
