The biggest news for me, other than that they inexplicably don’t come standard with SSD, was that Lion Server is part of the regular package. This is awesome.

What intrigued me the most about Lion Server is this tidbit:

Profile Manager Profile Manager delivers simple, profile-based setup and management for Mac OS X Lion, iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch devices. It also integrates with your existing directory services and delivers automatic over-the-air profile updates using the Apple Push Notification service.

I might be reading too much between the lines, but is there hope for profiles on iOS devices? Oh how I would love to be able to manage multiple profiles on our iPad(s), and do it all from my Mac Mini hub.

So here goes:

    I am looking to consolidate my data and clean up my backup and organization setup.

    Right now, I’ve got data on 4 external drives, one is Time Machine,
    but I have redundant data on all of them, including music and photos.

    I want everything in one place, with some confidence in stability.
    Hence my desire for a Drobo. While expensive, having a simple RAID
    setup like this is very intriguing for my music, photos, and to backup
    my business data (websites, graphics, etc).

    So, if you have one, or know someone who has one, give me a satisfaction rating (1-5 stars)…

    I figure I can fund the Drobo by selling the external drives, and then invest in 2-3 1TB SATA drives.

    Talk me into it, or out of it.

    Crowdsourcing at it’s finest.
