eSATA.........*drool*

Been waiting for this product. Everything I loved about the Drobo, just more of it. Nice!

That is all (runs off to find Drobo S online).

Been holding out for an e-SATA Drobo for too long! Ordering one very soon.

Just a work of caution - just got the new Gen 2 Drobo S (eSATA/USB3/FW800) and it doesn't work with my eSATA ports. Finder sees the drive but the Drobo Dashboard does not. Per their support, not all eSATA ports have the same bandwidth and the Dashboard only works with some of them.

It needs a more recent esata controller chipset. The drobo needs one with port replication support. Any card or mobo on the market now will prolly have it.
