Hey Jay, we have a Drobo Pro here, and it's great -- but not very fast. Drobo is very cool because it's flexible. Throw in any hard drive you've got laying around (that you don't mind erasing). Upgrade to bigger drives later (one at a time) without needing to start over.

Our Drobo Pro gets roughly 30MB/s over Firewire 800 (using decent hard drives). I think it's a great, safe, flexible backup location, but wouldn't trust it for real time editing of high-end formats. Might be just fine for DV, most standard def and some compressed stuff (in theory you could get about two streams of DVCPROHD out of 30MB/s). All depends what you typically are doing.

Let me know if you have questions, and good luck!
