Here''s another product which has removed the hassle out of disk
management:

I wonder if they (Data Robotics) will make the Drobo work with ZFS
once Leopard is out (since it supports HFS+)?

Data Robotics has just introduced Drobo, the world?s first storage
robot. Drobo is a direct attached storage array that provides fully
automated storage that is very easy to use. Drobo attaches via USB
2.0, with no host software required.
Drobo combines up to 4 drives (SATA I or III) into a pool of
protected storage (i.e. with the protection levels of RAID 5 but with
none of the hassles of RAID). Drobo?s capacity can be upgraded on
the fly (hot-swappable) with drives of different capacities and
speeds, and from different manufacturers.
There is a video demonstration of Drobo on www.drobo.com and there
are multiple postings about Drobo on the web, including:
