One of my engineers and I did a lot of investigation into SAN units. The
one that came up to the top for us was the Synology. That was for home use,
but reliability was tops on the list. The Drobo uses some proprietary
technology for their RAID. Hard to tell how that will hold up over time.
There are also many reports of reliability problems with them -- failing
after a year or so.
What advantage are you seeking with a SAN vs internal drives vs external
RAID array? I personally use the latter for my production servers.
