Ron and others,
The Drobo is apparently really hassle free, what about data backups at the
stations? Look at the review below.
>From a post in another forum I go the hint about the review. The Linux Action
Show review (minute 18:42 - 34:30 of the stream) ...

... pretty much matches the other review I heard (in German) highlighting the
hassle free usage and "dynamic expansion" (!) allowing just to extend
capacity as you go (hot expandable up to 16TB). Two Drobo data storages may
be linked to one Droboshare. Droboshare turns it into a NAS.

I just heard about the Drobo data storage system by Data Robotic which I

Ron, this might be an option for your radio station?
Here some of the descriptions I have found:
It should run under Windows, Mac, Linux (Linux in beta). There are
versions with USB 2.0 and Firewire 800 and in combination with droboshare
it is a network storage. It has several RAID options built in and does
take various SATA I or SATA II hard disk drives of various sizes, even a
combination of different sizes! From what I understand it is
extendable/expandable as you go. Just push in a new drive and it seems to
re-configures itself etc. always with the best data safety options. Well,
I heard a very enthusiastic podcast too :-) You may want to check for
their website.

And here you can simulate various storage options and combinations

Any more objective infos on this.
