Scoble has a very interesting demo of this new harddrive device on his site, called a drobo. Basically it's an enclosure for up to four sata drives, and it combines them all in one big safe drive. You can use any combo of drives, and it keeps your data safe. Looks very promising. One big drawback, it's usb 2.0 only for now, and thats a little slow. And it's pricey. An ethernet and / or Firewire connector would be excellent. Also it's not available in Europe yet.
Would love to get one though, since I got quite a few spare disks laying around and with disk drives now being so cheap, I wouldnt mind buying a big disk to stick it in this device. So I am going to keep my eye on these and see whether it gets better.
