I think competitive is a stretch. while the device is useful, the huge
advantage of the drobo is the ability to use mismatched drives and
upgrade to large drives later. Plus the drobo has a full Os that
allows it to be a stand alone server (if you get the network option).
Still, it's good to see old technologies like FW800 get a little boost.

For those of you considering the Drobo for large desktop storage,
Promise has announced their own desktop RAID storage product. From
my own analysis, it is very competitive with the Drobo. Something
worth considering.
In addition to the new iMac and MacBook announcements, we also
announced a Mac Mini Server product for $999. Could be interesting
for certain applications, i.e. testing, training, etc.
Thanks.

Its very quiet, low-power, fast, and will spin down the drives for
energy savings when not needed.
It's a great external storage compliment to the new Mac mini with
Snow Leopard Server as well as a desktop RAID system for anyone
looking for a few terabytes of RAID protected storage.
