Yes! I want the speed, but right now the price is a killer.
I would like one single, robust cabinet for something like 4 drives that
can run in JBOD mode, but don't want to spend the equivalent of another
computer for it.
I really like Drobo's raid boxes, but the 4-drive small model is $500 for
an unpopulated chassis, to which you need to add at least three drives.
So, for a 3TB box, you're talking a sizeable chunk of change.
