@HoneycombAgent I'm talking about any non-raided or RAIDed hard drive. In any given number of bits, you will have an unrecoverable read error. It's 1 in 1x10^14 bits (about 12.5TB) in SATA drives, about 1 in 1x10^15 bits in SCSI drives. This is a serious problem for RAID 5 as the array rebuild process will not be able to continue and you'll have data loss.
-
Are you talking about RAID-1 or RAID-0?

@vitalscuba You don't know what you're talking about, clearly. Have you ever heard of URE? Unrecoverable Read Error. When that one drive fails, you go to rebuild the array and you get one of those. That's game over. With large SATA drives, you need double redundancy. The error rate is about 1 in 1x10^14 bits, it's one order of magnitude higher with SCSI drives.

Drobo is a good idea but it is very unstable i had a drobo but it ended up in the middle of the road, worst £400 i spent suffered complete data corruption TWICE! now i've got a "readynas pro" with X-RAID in dual redundancy mode for £800 and it keeps on running and running and running not had one problem with it. if you look around on the net alot of people have had alot of problems with Drobo.

Also, the site isn't very clear - but it appears the only Drobo that supports 2 drive failure is the $1500 model. Plus the cost of drives.

How would you rate this compared to a HP MediaSmart server?

Way easier to use. Drobo is a storage device and needs a media server like Western Digital's in front of it. HPMS is, IIRC, a media server itself, but comes with more mgmt overhead.
