I was under the impression that the Drobo was no speed demon. Probably not the best comparison. Striping is faster, but is known as scary RAID for a reason.
Under the Mac, I am getting 50 megs/sec. It isn't as fast as a dedicated drive, but I like the advantages of the drobo. The problem with the drobo is that most are connected to windows and linux machines. Microsoft purposefully provides subpar stock firewire drivers and I'm sure linux support isn't much better.
