Just look up. The ceiling is the most overlooked storage area in the garage. There are store bought kits that can turn wasted space into useful garage storage, or a few sheets of plywood laid across the ceiling beams will work just as well. Looking for extra storage space?

The only problem is that the Drobo can have trouble if it's unexpectedly powered down. I had to run Disk Warrior on it at one point after several power outages at our house. I didn't have any data loss, but I'm sure it would be happier if it were running on a UPS. I'm thinking of getting a Mac Mini as a home theater PC, and I would move the Drobo to that instead of the Airport Extreme Base Station that it's connected to now. It might even be a little faster then since the AEBS doesn't have enough horsepower to push much data at Firewire 800 speeds. Hey Tom, everything works well.

You don't really need to buy particularly fast drives for a Drobo. I got the "green" drives because they run quiet and use less power. I may have the Drobo next to my TV some day so I wanted it to be as quiet as possible. Dan,
