uscjim 0 Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 Several months ago I stumbled on Paul Thurott's WinSuperSite and read about how much he likes Windows Home Server. Then I discovered you guys and started listening to your podcast on Saturday mornings. Moments before I was about to pull the trigger on an HP media smart server, Microsoft pulled the plug on DE- and I got spooked. If I won the Drobo, I would finally buy an HP media smart server and use Drobo as great DE alternative for 2011. Oh- and I promise to share the whole experience right here on the forum!

ikon 439 Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 i would run a long cable from my house in Canada to the US border, then across the border to the Drobo installed in a mailbox at The UPS Store Link to post Share on other sites
WireBoy 0 Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 I would sale it on eBay and use the profits to buy some raw drives for my X510 V1 box. Long live V1 and DE! Link to post Share on other sites
jeffla 0 Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 I'm not sure what I would use it for. It would help with my storage needs as time goes on and would allow me to utilize WHS2011 when released. My vote though is for Krom, to deny Drobo love is wrong. Everything on earth deserves the happiness and horrors that come from the co-mingling of genetic material. That and to see a bunch of Drobettes humming away would be reward in itself.

brwd09 0 Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 I would use it to move the data off of my failing v1 WHS. I have been trying to get the data off of this server for several days before the system drive on the server fails, but so far with no luck. Link to post Share on other sites
byronomo 2 Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 I would use Drobo as a storage solution with my next WHS to hide the fact that I don't truly understand RAID. (I hope to keep it that way) I don't have/want a twitter account, so I won't be able to send something there. Link to post Share on other sites
TomW 0 Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 First I would use the Drobo to transfer my Shared Folders from my ex475 running v1 to my new WHS running 2011. Then I would use the Drobo for backups of the WHS. PS: Not sure what the wife will say about having it displayed on the fireplace mantle for all to see Link to post Share on other sites
Jazman 3 Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Hmmm... how would I use a Drobo if I won one... Well, I might actually load WHS2011 and use the Drobo as the drive extender replacement! Keith Link to post Share on other sites
SabatonFan80 0 Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 My scenario isn't particularly WHS-related, but I'd use the Drobo unit to provide storage for a Windows Storage Server VM. (This would then host VHDs for my other virtual machines and expose the storage over iSCSI.) Link to post Share on other sites
