What sort of throughput are you getting, Mark? I've outgrown my TeraStation Pro and was thinking about a Drobo but the whole USB2nes and lack of ethernet put me off a bit.

Ive also got a icybox 4220 at the back of a cupboard as it didnt get along with my WD hhds and the transfer rate was piss-poor.

Very far from scientific, but...

Code:

icebox ~ # hdparm -T -t /dev/sdb

/dev/sdb:
 Timing cached reads:   4542 MB in  2.00 seconds = 2271.22 MB/sec
 Timing buffered disk reads:   48 MB in  3.05 seconds =  15.76 MB/sec

icebox ~ # dd if=/dev/sdb of=/dev/null bs=16384 count=16384
16384+0 records in
16384+0 records out
268435456 bytes (268 MB) copied, 16.8993 s, 15.9 MB/s

PS - that's using Firewire 400. I don't expect USB would be that far different.

I swear that Icybox HD incompatibilities list was smaller when I last looked at it mid-last year lol
