I want to get a long term storage solution that has hot swappable drives and allows for multiple i/o solutions. I was looking at a drobo but I think the prices are outrageous and I can't determine if the fs or s is right for me long term. I was looking at the pegasus but there really isn't enough info about it, i don't even know if it does what the drobo does.
Got a tip for us?

Most people generally keep their storage arrays much longer than their computers. I think the advice to wait for TB is sound. You want enough headroom to connect to the type of computers you will own over the life of the storage array.
Personally... I would wait for TB support just in case he decides to attach it directly to a single computer at some point. I would also make sure that it supports 1GB ethernet for use as a NAS (this is probably easy).
