This isn't designed to run in RAID 0 imo. I have a 2TB version of this, and run it basically as a 1TB drive with built in raid 1. It handles all the mirroring internally, will warn you of a drive failure, and let you swap the drives out yourself without voiding warranty. I was manually backing up my data across two external HDDs, and this is a way neater solution. That price is because of the 2TB drives in it.
Yes, the drobo is a nice piece of kit, but these things are just plug and play and a nice robust alternative to a standard large drive. A drobo was (until very recently) $500 with no drives. Add in the premium for 2TB drives and that soon adds up.
