    Review request: Drobo FS

    Ian, I'm interested how the WD Green drives fare in the Drobo unit. I'm aware that they are listed as a compatible model, but I also understand that because they don't support TLER, they are generally not recommended for use in RAID environments. Does Drobo's BeyondRaid system negate the...

    Dual-band N client/adaptor

    Interesting. I use it with Vista. I'm running it with the Airport Extreme N, and it's going great. Haven't actually tested the throughput, but the connection is pretty good.

    Dual-band N client/adaptor

    Well i bit the bullet today and have ordered the Netgear WNDA3100. Shops here just hiked prices (it goes for $120AUD all round), so i jumped on ebay and scored a refurbished one for $50AUD shipped. Gotta love eBay!:D When i get it and set everything up i'll report back with my results. Cheers

    Dual-band N client/adaptor

    Well most of what i know is from reading this site.;) I know you had driver issues with the DLink, were those the problems you mention? Do you think they would have been fixed since then? I ask because the DLink is $10 cheaper here in Oz.

    Dual-band N client/adaptor

    Great site, love the in-depth reviews. It's refreshing to see some real networking reviews where the plastics are cracked open and innards revealed!:p I'm the market for an 802.11n client/adaptor to use with my soon-to-arrive Airport Extreme. I'll be running an 802.11g network from my Netgear...
