Is Drobo that good? Why don't they post specs on their website? What kind of processor is used? How much installed memory does it come with?

I purchased drives to allow me to have 16TB of RAID-protected backup. This is only 1 of 6 backup drives we have for important data and it is by far the fastest and most reliable. You install however much storage you need; it does not come with any drives.

Performance is more than adequate for me - main use is local backup of RAID drives (attached to 2 Apple iMacs) and iPad/iPhone in-house access to any of that data (Drobo is attached to Apple APE-AC). My primary objective was easy admin: adding & changing shares & permissions, mix & match various SATA drives types and sizes, data redundancy w/o true RAID, swap & add of HDs without any admin. my short list included Synology, but made the decision just on ease of admin. I am aware of some horror stories concerning data loss with Drobo, but I keep it on a UPS and it's just a backup for me.

Be advised, the processor is not adequate to use this device as a media server if you need to do any heavy transcoding. For backup and media downloading/organizing it works great. I'd really like to see an upgrade version with a powerful processor.

I have found that my two drobos work very well for my needs. The one thing I would like to see work better, but I think it is a limitation of Windows not Drobo, is to report the current size of the mass of drives not some specific value like 16TB when you only have 5TB total space. I've installed Plex Server on my Drobo5n and it's been working great even without a mSSD that can improve performance. I don't know or really care about the processor or other specs as long as it works well and performs well.

I use it for gaming. It's a great MB, even has some special features like the scout audio. OC is a breeze also.

It has 6 GB dedicated memory... 5.84 GB is think usable... no worries on that bud! Go ahead and buy it!

It has limited internal memory. You will need to buy a card. Everything else is included.

This is a beginners model. Only 2 gb memory. After adding 8 gb memory & wireless keypad & mouse ($150) computer is fast and I like it fine.

I spoke with customer service right now and they double checked. Unfortunately there is absolutely no ETA on the item. Is it even possible to get the ASUS U50Vg-B1 model which IS in stock and put a 500GB HDD, the 2.53GHz Intel P8700 Core 2 Duo Processor and the Windows 7 Home Premium (64 bit) Operating System? I mean.. Thats the only difference between them.. I would assume its possible and would be great if they would since we have been waiting so long for this product. Its about to be a month since its been released.. Help us! lol :(

There was a bundle available earlier this year when I made the purchase. The motherboard, i7-2600 processor and 16GB of Corsair RAM with shipping was just over six hundred dollars. It runs great!!

How much Ram do you have in your machine? What is the Processor speed. That would play a factor as well.

Looking at review videos and Dell's website itself, unfortunately it only has one RAM slot (but it is one of the few budget laptops you can upgrade without tearing it apart!).

I'm using it for gaming too, i put 16 gigs of ram in, 500w power supply, and gt 630 nvidia card. Pc now is very powerful, windows ranks gaming at 7.3. I think for simple tasks youre fine. 1 tb i think would last a lifetime for just photos. Even if you take them all the time. Honestly though, get the newest HP version thats out now, this i think is 2011? model? I love it, been using it for 3 years, but get their newest.

Note that I did not keep the noted system in that it was not 4GB RAM as advertised. So I do not have experience on the subject system. But you can easily pose the question to the internet and get an answer.

The laptop works pretty good for multimedia! for gaming its ok but it could be better! I haven't installed any of the good games yet, however I try regular games and like I said is ok. I think the RAM can be upgrade!
