Right now I'm using a drobo running off of esata. I'm looking to upgrade (windows operating system) to a new raid. Which is better another drobo or something like g-technology? What connection seem to be fastest for a single computer? Of the western digital drives which is fast enough? I assume drive speed is not determining operational speed of the raid but rather the connection is.

thanks. it looks like drobo is out. It looks like a lot of people are using the synergy NAS system. Which is better NAS or a plain raid like g-technology? I think I need a little education on what NAS really is. What connection seem to be fastest for a single windows computer? Of the western digital drives which is fast enough (implication on the link is that red is sufficient)? I assume drive speed is not determining operational speed of the raid but rather the connection is.
