So I have 1x500gb, 1x750gb, and 2x1.5TB in the drobo.
I copied things to it and it work just fine.
Then a couple times it froze and I had to reboot it.
Looked on line and the 1.5TB drives aren’t supported with the firmware that is in them (SD17).
That fw causes frozen drives and there are reports out there of 40% failure rates.
I’m waiting for Seagate to get back to me.
Then I reboot the system (on a freeze) and just before I do, I notice that the 500GB is posting as a failed, but I was already in the motions of removing the plug to power cycle it. ARG!

The 500GB is a Maxtor from aug 2006 that is the same kind as the one that is in my freezer right now having failed. This blows goats. Right now, the drobo is in the process of rebuilding once again. I hope it gets done before 3:30 when I have to leave. Otherwise I’m not sure what I’m going to do. Maybe leave it here to build over night? That means no fw updates to the 1.5TB drives tonight.
Looks like I’m going to drive up to maine to bring my dog to the vets, then drive back down here and then drive back home.

The good thing is that I still have access to my data while it’s in the data recovery process AND I left the drobo without my laptop to build. For any of you looking for what I’m doing, live through my lumps.
