My goals are: My data safest as possible. Share files between two computers. Access files remotely. Chronosync to sync my documents between two computers. Buy a router since I don't own one.
I preordered a 1TB Time Capsule when it was announced. Last couple of weeks, I found out about the Drobo, and bought that. I will be putting in two 1TB drives raid setup (so technically 1TB worth of space). I have a couple of options:
1) Keep the TC to use just for Time Machine for my two computers. Store my music, movies, documents and other data (about 500GB) on Drobo. Be able to access my Drobo remotely either with .mac or some other way I'll figure out later.
2) Return TC. Buy a new or used Airport Express Base Station. Use just Drobo for TM (partition 300GB) and data (700GB). Will have double redundancy for TM and data, save money, and have same use like option one. I'll just have less space and more money in my pocket.
3) ???
I honestly don't know what to do. I like the idea of having one device just for TM, but it seems kinda excessive. Anyone of ideas what I should do, or any other options I'm not thinking of?
