Drobo storage device... oh my this is cool!

This is the new Drobo USB device that just came out. It is a USB MULTI-DRIVE (raid-like) device that takes standard SATA 3.5" drives. That means that you decide how much space you need (the device comes empty and you get to get your own drives.) The unit takes 4 SATA drives (and they don't even have to be the same size). It stores parady information meaning that it creates a single logical drive (the total of the SATA drives that are installed), and if one dies, you can just pull it out and replace it with a new one getting all your data back!!!! Yes it's very cool.

Also here is the review from Engadget.
