If you only download a couple of TV series and movies a month, then move along. Today’s holiday gift pick is for the serious media junkie.

drobo data robotics SATA storage array

The Drobo Storage Array starts at $350, and that’s without any storage inside.

Hard disks are really cheap these days (you can get 1.5TB at around a hundred bucks) but having a single hard drive as your backup is not a good idea. However, adding multiple drives to your PC and setting up RAID systems is no trivial matter. The maker of the DROBO, Data Robotics, have made it all easy enough that you don’t have anything to configure — just slot in your hard drives and you’re all ready to go.

The DROBO supports both FireWire 800 & USB 2.0 and it works with Windows, Mac and Linux. You can add hard drives with different capacities, and the DROBO will figure it out for you.
