Hi,
I've recently started working as an FCP editor and i'm fast running out of storage.
The company i work for wants the the video i work on to be secured so I've been looking at RAIDed hard drive arrays.
I have herd from a few people that a DROBO is the best way to go. But the company really wants to keep prices down and has suggested something like a EdgeStore DAS501T 5xBay Enclosure via eSATA.

(along with buying an eSATA PCI adapter)
Basically I have two questions, first will FCP have any issue working with a hard drive connected via eSATA (or any other issues) and secondly what advantages does something like the DROBO actually offer over the above, that i can present to my aboves to convince them to spend the extra money?
Many thanks!
