Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Hello all, I spent the money on this and thought from all of the reviews that it was the best NAS on the market. Well Setup was easy but the problems started after the fact. Start performing copies of my data to the NAS and the network thru-put was 20-30 Mbps and that was the max speed. I opened a tech article on the Drobo support forums and it took two days to come back with a reply. They stated that one of the new drives I was using was causing the speed issues so I removed and waited for remaining drives to come green. Which took several hours. Once that occurred my speed did not change I changed out network cables / Switches / Routers and nothing seemed to help. I even connected the drobo FS to my MAC and made not change as for speed. Further review from the Drobo foums many others were having the same issue and could not explain why. I returned it to Amazon and ordered a DS 1010+ and once it arrived I plugged in the same drives formatted the partition and started the copy process. Which was less than hour to get the complete system up and running. Also the diags did not find a problem with the drive that Drobo stated was bad. My default speeds were between 50-120 Mbps without Jumbo frames and once the settings were done I was locked at 120 Mbps. Also the amount of options of the DS 1010+ were huge compared to the DroboFS yes the price is little more but worth every penny. Even a friend of mine that has a NAS that cost two times more was not as good as the DS 1010+. Do the research before purchasing. Meaning signup for Drobo Forums and do the reviews before purchasing. Watch Youtube on the DS 1010+ looks at the menus and see the options that are available. Hope this helps.
