so basically i havnet been able to find a NAS setup or a raid controller that does those features for less than the $500 price of the drobo.

now the question is up to the throughput of the device. is that going to be based on the speed of the hdds and the speed of the computer its running though. the main purpose will be on a htpc type setup with storage/streaming for offsite access through orb.

wil it be able to keep up? or how much bandwidth do i need for quaility streaming video?
