Adventures in Drobo-land, upgrading to a Drobo 5N

Hmm, I had a Drobo go bad and I found the customer support excellent. It took several days trying various things (just transferring almost 5TB of data over USB2 takes a lot of time) but they stayed with me until we were both convinced that the issue was resolved. All told, there was one file that somehow got munged up.

My impression was that they are very serious about protecting data.
