I had a similar experience with an AirNas, which is basically an enclosure for a hard drive that exports a samba share. Performancewise, disappointing, all I could transfer was around 2Mb/s, convenience, maybe, streaming mp3's is fine, but there is no way you can stream movies from it.
Noise wise, I think I wasn't as unfortunate as the author of the post, but you have to keep in mind that these systems are more suited for data centers, maybe the Drobo is just a poor implementation of a NAS box. If I were to get a NAS, I would probably look for something that does block storage, such as iSCSI or FCoE, not sure if there are home appliances for that, but with that you can ignore annoyances like unsupported character sets for filenames and similar stuff. |
