Our take
This Drobo DDR3-A unit is a solid choice if you're looking for a straightforward external RAID solution with drives already included. The four 3TB WD hard drives provide a good starting capacity, and Drobo's systems are generally easy to set up and manage, especially for those who want data redundancy without complex configuration. The USB interface makes it broadly compatible across Mac and PC platforms. At $199.27, it's a very accessible price point for a complete NAS solution with drives, though it's important to remember the 12TB is raw capacity and usable space will be less after RAID configuration.
