Big big +1 for the Drobo here. I have Drobo first gen that I bought at least a couple of years ago. It has been chugging along like a champ as our main data store. Yes, we aren't protected from accidental deletion, but we are protected from drive failure. I'm actually going to be switching our solution around a bit this weekend: 2TB internal storage and Drobo for time machine backup.
Even though it's from the old n' slow first gen, it's been great for everything from iPhoto to iMovie to iTunes. We have 35,000+ songs, hundreds of movies archived from DVDs, and gigabytes upon gigabytes of HD iMovie video.
We started with 3x750GB disks, and after Christmas I dropped a 1.5TB drive in the last slot. It worked exactly as easily as they claim.
