I own 4 Drobos, the 5 bay FS, 8 bay Drobo pro, 5D and S connected to my Mac laptops (wifi) and Mac Pros directly (networked and 1 running Plex). With so much data across 4 devices, it is difficult to choose the right system that has the feature of beyond raid. I am leaning towards Synology DS1821+ but am not sure where to jump in. Whatever box is chosen, it will start with all new 8tb drives and the old reds will find a home someplace on eBay. Mmoving from Drobo to something else is really important right now and would love advice.
