A couple of years ago when I was looking for a NAS for our office the choice was between a Drobo and ReadyNAS from Netgear. Although Drobo had so many recommendations and good feedback I thought I'd rather go with a weller-known company like Netgear. The ReadyNas isn't the greatest but solid, quite fast and reliable. I'm happy about the decision. We're increasingly using our own custom debian linux box now with SMB shares, backups with duplicity, Apache / Lighty and so on. It just allows for more flexibility.
