is it me.. or is it a little strange you can go from 3 disks to 1 disk and not lose data.. where's the buffer at? you can't store 3 drives worth of data on one disk.. if you could, why would you need the other 2 discs?

unless drobo doesn't use but maybe 1/4 of the drives capacity on each drive.. Raid 5 uses 4 disks.. one fails you put a new one in and it rebuilds the array, 2 fail, you're up the creek with no 35-Ton Excavator.

Or am I missing something.. it is late.. but still.
