I’m a Drobo user and it is one of the best storage systems I’ve seen today. Drobo is not without shortcoming, it is lack of network storage support. Data Robotics has stepped up to fix that by introducing DroboShare, an add-on for Drobo that adds NAS capability to the unit.
It features Gigabit Ethernet connection with dynamic or static IPs, Auto-mounting using SMB authentication, official support for EXT3 file system, and two USB 2.0 ports to extend capacity by linking more than one Drobo. You can still switch Drobo to USB mode by making your Drobo off the network.
The add-on will cost you $200, which I personally think its quite reasonable for the convenient NAS brings. Having seven computers at home makes NAS very important to me.

Convergence can often be seen as a dirty word, but iRiver’s Unit 2 (which we first caught a glimpse of in January last year, then again in July) seems to have convinced everybody who tried it at CES 2008 that putting a WiFi radio, CD/DVD player, VoIP phone, GPS, streaming and download into a single machine is nothing but A Good Thing, and well worth waiting (and saving up the $700 they estimate it’ll cost) until 2009 to pick one up. A 30GB drive, SD slot, removable display-cum-independent-7-inch-PMP (800 x 480, 16:9 aspect) and a remote that folds out to give a full QWERTY for messaging round out what could be the gadget of next year.
Engadget spent some time playing with the Unit 2 and shot a video of iRiver’s glee:
I honestly can’t wait to get my hands on this - some are complaining about the price being high, but for what you get I think it’s worth it.

Back when I reviewed LaCie’s Ethernet Disk mini I was particularly taken by its UPnP media funnelling capacities (which still form the core of my home media setup); now they’ve upgraded the range of compact network-attached storage with the Home Edition, which adds remote access, iTunes media server functionality and Axentra HipServ for drag’n’drop file sharing.
