@donofthekuwait It won't give you that much space. It'll make "reserved for expansion" space and you'll get at max 465GB. There is a calculator on the drobo site, just google it
I have a doubt ! what if i put in a 1.5 TB drive in first bay and 500 GB drive in 2nd bay and i have putted around 1 TB of data , so what will happen if i remove the 1.5 TB drive ??
@alexedit1 If you have the new Drobo, the one with USB 3.0 or S-ATA rev. 3, you'll get faster transfer speeds. (The data you want to get to quickly, put it all on a SSD, not a HDD.) I have a 64 gig SSD running all my programs, another 250 gig SSD that I use for everything in my current project, and then 4 1TB drives in RAID that I use for backing everything up. (And I mean everything) which might be replaced by a Drobo soon. Hope that helped.
I am a professional video editor and the only complaint I have is that my DroboPro is just too slow to edit. Is only good for backing up. Not usable for real life editing. In my experience. Can anyone comment on this?

@alexedit1 I"m curious are you using firewire 800 or USB and finding it slow?
