| Wow! Very different from my experience but good to know. Tim, Did it act this way out of the box, or over time? I had an internal Raid 5 array that I built that acted that way which is why I bought the Drobo. So far, so good.

I had an eSATA Drobo and it was just as ridiculously slow as all the others, with equally annoying software. It's basically like RAID 5 with an order of magnitude more software overhead. It slows to a crawl as you approach the utilization ceiling, which seemed awfully close to 50%. Call it "RAID 50", or even "RAID 500". Thunderbolt is unlikely to make any difference, since bus speed isn't the problem. But try it if you like, but keep the box and packing you can eBay it as "Like New!".
