Hmmmm . $87 cheaper than 3 weeks ago. At this rate, by November, it'll be in my price range. Been looking at Drobo for many months now .

I'm still waiting for my Drobo rebate from two months ago.

What happens if the unit fails, Can the data be retrieved or does the drives have to reinstalled into another unit.

@ #4:

You would need to put the drives in another unit.

#4, see that's what backups are for. Just recover the data after you move the disks to another machine/server.

You'd need to specifically ask Drobo support which units support interchanging drives **with data** intact.

#4, You can move all of your drives to another Drobo, and retrieve all your data. (keep the drives in the same order as they were in the original unit)

Is Newegg.com considered a Canadian dealer? The rebate form link here and on Newegg's website show the rebate is only valid for "All Canadian Dealers". Wouldn't want Data Robotics to say Newegg.com is not a Canadian company and reject my rebate.

#8, When I click on the link Ben provides above, it is to the US version of the rebate form. But in any case here's a direct link to the form on the Data Robotics site:

Note that they also have a $150 rebate on the DroboPro.

Oops. The DroboPro rebate is only $100 (not $150, as I said above).
