If you're looking for a backup solution that's basically set-it-and-forget-it easy, it's hard to go wrong with Data Robotics' Drobo. You can simply plug in your hard drive size of choice to the Drobo, back up all your important files on to it and it keeps your data safe. There are some cons to it though as you need to connect to one computer, and that doesn’t work as well in today’s environment of home and office network drives.

Drobo came out with a new solution with the announcement of the new DroboPro. It's using a dual core processor, has double the storage bays and it has Gigabit Ethernet for the iSCSI protocol which means really fast transfers across your network!

If you need a storage solution for a group of users this DroboPro looks like an excellent solution. At $1200 for the DroboPro, and with the price of hard drives these days, you could have a quality solution to store and share your data safely without the hassle of syncing and double-checking your folders to see if your data is duplicated everywhere.
