Given my current streak of one new HD a year, that means I would have an initial investment of $750 + $100 a year for replacement drives. For the initial investment cost of the Drobo I can subscribe to Mozy for 12.5 years. I hope that in that timeframe an even better solution arrives. And if it does then I'm still saving money because I hadn't spent all the upfront money for a Drobo. The only downside to Mozy is the uploading and downloading. That's not really Mozy's problem though. Most of issues with Comcast. The total cost of ownership of a Drobo runs about $750 ($500 for Drobo and ~$250 for hard drives).

No longer interested, or was not as feasible as Mozy? What about Drobo? No longer interested, or was not as feasible as Mozy?
