I recently picked up a Drobo, and while I thought I was paying a lot for a storage system, I have since upgraded capacity twice and I have more than paid off the initial premium. Been great, bummer it's just USB, but it has been working like a champ for me so far (crosses fingers). - Eddie I haven’t tried a MyBook, but I have had the WORST luck with LaCie drives.

Not a problem for backup, but no way I'd leave one of those connected to my machine all the time.
