Adorama has the Drobo S 2nd Generation 5 DRDR4A21 eSATA FireWire 400 Storage Array Enclosure for $510 with free shipping. Features 5 hard drive bays for up to a 20TB storage solution, USB 3.0, BeyondRAID technology, self-healing capabilities, and protects from up to two HDD failures.
This device(Drobo S 5 DRDR4A21) does NOT have networking capabilities(no NIC). This is a USB/eSATA/Firewire Drive Array. May want to update your title going forward.
Drobo does have some NAS systems and then tend to get some good reviews. HDD prices are still a little steep, but I am keeping an eye on all 4-5 bay NAS systems...
NAS = Network Attached Storage

Yup. That's why it isn't as good as other solutions. I thought Drobo had another solution with networking!
