Data Robotics "Drobo". Anyone ever heard of this?

Just wondering if anyone has used or seen this so-called "raid alternative."
They call it a "storage robot." No, I am not spamming for this company, I
actually just read about them in PC Photo's enewsletter, and was wondering
if anyone out there has heard anything about this storage solution, good or
bad.

Yes, they had a Digg Article on it...also a video. It is a storage
device, which supports 4 disks. Presumably, they use a RAID6
technoology, and you can dynamically allocate available storage. They
have a self-replicating feature that can move data from one physical
disk to another. They even show streaming while replicating. REmoval
of a disk allows the array to rebuild...
Look for it on Digg.

I bought it for my SO after reading this review
http://weblog.infoworld.com/tcdaily/...sonal_storage/
Nothing to complain so far. She started with two 250GB drives and is
getting ready to add 2 more. It's a bit pricey but works as
advertised. She likes it because it's easy to add capacity. I would
choose something different but as long as she's happy....
