In response to "VLIR: Mop: Drobo in it's most basic incarnation is just direct attached storage. Drobo FS I think is the NAS version. All use RAID" by oblique

What exactly does that do? Is it just hard drive space for multimedia content?

Does it have a tuner?

I really wish I knew more about this.

When my NAS was running (D-Link DNS-323), it was visible to all the computers on my network as a storage location. It also shared my printer via LAN. - Beryllium May 11, 12:57 1

Drobo? It's just a RAID box so it provides redundant interface for storage (lose a disk, stuff still runs) that is either direct attached or appears - oblique May 11, 12:57 5
- no, the thingy you bought. - spamlet May 11, 12:57 4
  - Ah, it's kinda similar but it's basically a Linux server so it can provide RAID if you want (or just disk) but it provides applications on top of it - oblique May 11, 12:59 3
    - Could you put a tuner in it to have network DVR functionality? - spamlet May 11, 13:01 2
      - i do that with my windows home server. - tRuMaN (insane, possibly) May 11, 13:07
      - You can run MythTV on it but I wouldn't recommend it. Mostly you'd use it as the storage location - oblique May 11, 13:03
