Drobo!!!


So, I'm thinking about some mass storage device so I can store my DVD's and music in a single easy to store location and theres a couple of really cool little devices out there now. One of which is DROBO which is a new hard disk system which seems to overcome most of RAID's limitations. Its a little pricy, but since its dynamically upgradeable, its well worth the cash. If you watch the video, you can see just how amazing it is; very cool indeed.

Now...if you use one of these you still need a PC, but there are a few answers to that too. I have a little linksys unit that that takes USB2 drives and then puts them onto the network, which means anything can see it. Theres also a cool little media server available for this little unit which might spell the end of the PC altogether!

Cool toys, if a little expensive.

Oh, and I have finally recovered, but we have a close family wedding this weekend, so Ive had no time to do anything. Hopfully after that, i can get back to doing more interesting things.
