Drobo: The story continues…

Posted on | August 2, 2007 | 1 Comment

Wow these guys like to keep you up to date!!

I’ve just received another email from Drobo (see here for the last one). This one states that the £499 is including disks (although it didn’t specify how much storage). If you just want the Drobo system without any disks, it’s going to cost you £350 inc VAT. Now thats a bit better (since the $499 US price probably doesn’t include sales tax).

I’m definately seriously thinking about getting one of these. If anyone’s got one and they don’t mind loaning it to me (or if VCI is reading this can I have a loaner pretty please?)

[update]Just another thing that crossed my mind… For the £499 model, how much space do you get with it? £150 you’re only looking at about 150GB worth[/update]

    Sales tax depends on whether or not you are shipping an item to a state where the company has a business address. Data Robotics appears to be headquartered in California. So, if I bought it and shipped it here to Texas, likely there would be no sales tax. But, if they have any place of business here, then I’d pay state sales tax.

    If you get one, you must let me know what you think.
