Hi,
I currently have three WD Mybook Pro drives which are sat next to my iMac, and quite frankly they drive me insane constantly vibrating and stuff, so I want to put them out of the way in the comms cab in the office. Obviously, to do this I need some sort of NAS box, and the Time Capsule or Airport Extreme Base look like a good idea. One is currently a Time Machine drive shared across the network, the others have media on them.
I've heard that the AEBS has speed problems reading/writing to USB attached drives, is this true? And what about the Time Capsule? I currently have 3x500GB drives that are virtually full, so I'd still need to use them even if I got a 1TB Time Capsule.
I'm also thinking about replacing them all with a Drobo at some point to make things a bit simpler (not that it'll make a difference to what I've mentioned above).
