One bought one the next day. The other wants a networked device that uses raid. Me? I just want some storage! But, I would love to have it fast and off site. I am getting Verizon's fiber optic broadband at 15/2, so this is becoming possible. Let me know when you are asked to demo and let us know what you think. http://www.rrkphoto.com/ http://photostartfinish.blogspot.com/ I told two friends about the Drobo, both technogeeks.

I'm running the RC version now and it is brilliant, it has a file share for everyone in the home to use and it wakes up the all my machines (desktop, MediaCenter, and laptop) at night and take backups (3-5min). Don't let the "Home" name put you off, I think this is allmost perfect for a small photography business with 1 to 5 people.... Two things:

Amazon says it isn't released until Aug 15, that Barnes and Noble is taking preorders, ScottKelbyBooks website says "ships in July" but, in fact has none. 1) I love your blog.

This is because: (a) When rendering/scrolling through hundreds of RAW thumbnails in Lightroom/Aperture, it tends to beachball and sometimes become unresponsive for a few seconds. While iPhoto cuts through it all without a glitch. (b) iPhoto seams to hack the encrypted Custom White Balance in Nikon RAW images. This is handy when exporting the pre color corrected photos to Lightroom/Aperture/Photoshop. I have added iPhoto as part of my initial workflow to filter in photos I want to publish.

It agreed with the technology, but didn't like the implementation and recommended waiting for the next generation. The review is at http://tinyurl.com/2ra272.

That is the coolest part of the website. Agree with the other comment about the .Mac web site. Not everyone wants to spend $100 a year for something that you can get for free elsewhere.

I would be more apt to actually use iPhoto if I could post web galleries to my non-.Mac web site. Adobe Lightroom performs the upload task with ease and it's hard to believe that Apple couldn't have built the same functionality into their web galleries. Just one more cool product that I'll probably never use due to its Apple's belief that if there is no choice then people will buy their other products.
