Could somebody explain Drobo to me.  A "Drobo for Dummies" guide 
would be good ;-)  I've googled but everything seems to assume that 
you already know what Drobo is and why it is different from JBOD 
(just a bunch of disks).  I thought NAS was only for a network.  Do I 
need a network?  I have about 20 external hard drives - only about 5 
hooked up at a time.

Very confused!!
