I've recently been looking for a deal on a Drobo to backup all the images I've been taking and I found a pretty awesome deal on Amazon.
Drobo FireWire 800 (DR04DD10) $404 (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001CZ9ZEE?ie=UTF8&tag=katchymendation-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B001CZ9ZEE)http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=katchymendation-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B001CZ9ZEE - Good until Dec 22nd 2008
Amazon sells the device for $454 which is $45 off the MSRP for the device. And if you purchase the item via Amazon and not one of it's partners you can get an additional $50 Off. Therefore bringing the total cost to $404 (after rebate) with Free Shipping!
