Do you have a case number, Robert? I can talk to the support team and have them reopen it. What version of Drobo software are you using?

Hello, Mark Fuccio from Drobo here.
Some comments. First, there are several model Drobos, and they have *very* different performance characteristics.
The 4-drive Drobo has FW800 and USB connections. Good fit for bulk storage or backup. Not recommended for editing HD.
DroboPro is an 8 drive system that uses iSCSI/Gigagit ethernet. Its fast. Perfect for editing. Using Blackmagic’s Disk Speed test rates it 90MB/sec read, 80MB/sec for writes. iSCSI support requires OS X 10.5.6 or later. I wonder if Rob, the poster above, might have used an unsupported version of OS X.
DroboElite is an 8 drive system with twu iSCSI/Gigabit ethernet ports. Rich Harrington, who has a large presence here, uses one in his studios at RHEDPixel and has 3 editors doing multicam work on it almost every day.
