    I am having an issue with using Final Cut 7 and Drobo. I have read that you should not use Drobo as a capture scratch device. The issue is that it is slowing down everything in Final Cut including Playback,Quicktime file creation and it is crashing even though I have 1.4 TB remaining on the Drobo. My question is what is a recommended affordable external Raid System that will not give me these issues.

    Using 2.2TB on Drobo

    Depends on the Drobo model, but the one I used a year ago was designed for backup, not as a media drive.

    You could search this forum as lots of recommendations have been offer to this query over the years.
