YOU BUY DROBO PRO FÖR OVER 1000$ AND YOU HAVE GB HDD IN IT?!?!?!?!?!?!

Well it doesn't really matter that eSATA isn't as fast as gigabit ethernet. Your platters (even all of the drives put together) aren't going to spin fast enough to saturate gigabit Ethernet anyway, none the less eSATA. That is, if your network is laid out in a logical and smart fashion.....which to your credit it appears to be.

My question is; does the drobopro include services to sync your data offsite? I imagine for 5tb that would take a while and use a ton of bandwith, but still.

Are you presenting any LUNs from the Drobo via iSCSI to y our ESXi host?

[adamsb33]

nice, practical setup! very cool. mines a lot like this minus the switches cause im hooked up all centrally.

My heart is palpitating over this setup except for the green technology switch. I had a problem with one of those switchs a few monthes ago about it not ccoming up fast enough for my cluster.

I got a Drobo Pro for work and we love it. I made it 16tb and we just added in the Hard drives are needed. It's full now so we are looking at adding in another drobo. It's alot cheaper than our IBM SAN but we only use it to archive our older projects. I do still back it up once ever 4 months with LTO5 tapes. Great product!

Bluray 16 gigs? What lame Blurays are only 16Gigs? Movies are more like 25 to 40 gigs.

If I were you I'd move your wireless router antenna down horizontally so it radiates to the upper floor(s) better.
