I was wondering what kind of sustained throughput you get when reading and writing to the shared drive from wired (most interested) and wireless clients... I can't seem to find any resources that talk about this very important aspect of using a Mac Mini as a server... Thanks! Terry,

I've networked two MacBook Pro's via an AirPort Extreme with two external WD TB's connected via a powered USB hub, so both MBP's can share my two WD TB's. What is the best Drobo for me to buy if I want both of my MBP's to have fast network access to the Drobo? Also, how can i tell if my MBP's have iSCSI or just plain old Ethernet? I found something on my MBP that said: Marvell Yukon Gigabit Adapter 88E8053 Singleport Copper SA: Also, can i just connect Drobo Pro to one of AirPort Extreme's LAN connections? I found this on Data Robotics site: for OS X Drobo Dashboard is required as OS X does not have an integrated iSCSI initiator. Drobo Dashboard includes iSCSI initiators for OS x should i buy Mac Mini Server? i'm lost. please help. Terry…

I have not set up a network yet, but I'm seriously considering it. Sorry if this is a beginner question. I'm using an OWC exteneral harddrive by firewire to my Macbook Pro for time machine backups. If I go your route, can I free up some of my USB ports and hook my printer and external drives to the macmini? I’m curious. I have not set up a network yet, but I’m seriously considering it.
