I am in search of a raid solution. I have been pretty interested in the Drobo but due to the cost of what you get I am not sure its the best method, though the idea is cool. I am thinking instead of maybe getting a few 1tb+ drives and a cheap RAID card and tossing it all into my Linux box as it would provide a lot more than just a storage device, not to mention the cost would be much less. What does everyone think?

I would give nexenta a try, you can roll your own storage box on any hardware you want. Or buy from their partners. We use them a lot, got nothing but good things to say about it. Snapshots, redundancy, easy admin, great support.
