Argh, just after agonizing over, and finally breaking down and getting a drobo, it seems that Data Robotics, Inc. has released a new version with Firewire800 and improved USB performance (3x what they had before).
*sigh*
I wonder if there's any sort of customer protection out there as the speed was the one thing I didn't like about the device, and I bought it less than a month before the version that fixes everything comes out. I wonder if Cali Lewis can help me?
Hey Arc!
Just doing some reading and it sounds like the USB performance upgrade is as a result of a firmware update, so you may still at least get the benefit of the faster USB, though obviously no FW800.
If I find a link to the firmware, I'll let you know.
Have you contacted them about a return or exchange?
Yea, they basically said "sucks to be you" and if there's nothing wrong with the device, there's nothing they can do :( And maybe I should be used to technology being out of date before I buy it by now....
