Drobo is slow – unacceptably so – when it comes to handling my iPhoto library. OS X reckons it will take over three days to copy my library to the Drobo. And when using the Drobo with a small test library over the network, it was again too slow providing the data to iPhoto. Just about any other file moves quickly, no problems.

I use multiple Drobos. This post isn’t intended to be a white paper on backup strategy, just a review of this product.

Could you lose all of your data? Wouldn’t 2 Drobo’s be the best / very expensive solution?
