It is definitely a high quality product, much better built than I had expected. And the Laporte affect didn’t help, I’m with you on that. Puuut Alll of your stuff on a Droboooh
It’s a mature product at this point, so there is no fear of being an early adopter, and the company would seem to be financially a going concern and unlikely to go out of business any time soon.
I still dislike that its proprietary, but once you develop a strategy to back up your Drobo, which I’ve done, you can treat it as an appliance and move on.
