I've read most of the comments here and I think people are missing the point. Forget the noise, that's just an inconvenience. More importantly: The "reliable" data storage device I bought corrupted and lost my data once, and right now is showing the symptoms of corrupting the filesystem again. I doesn't get any simpler and more objective than that. And to those people whose Drobos have been working fine so far: I wish you the best of luck and I hope you won't hit the same problems I did. But I would be worried, beause if I'm hitting them, it means they are there, and eventually you might as well.
