[Discuss] Do you have experience with "Drobo" Raid boxes?



Thanks for reading this.

I'm setting up a file server, and it's attached to a couple of "Drobo" 
Raid boxes (http://www.drobo.com/), type "TD", which have about 18TB of 
storage each. They are connected via Thunderbolt 2 cables, and according 
to a couple of disk-speed measuring apps, they're sending and receiving 
in excess of 180 MB/s.

Actual transfer speeds from a fiber-channel controller, however, as 
measured by rsync transfers of large files, are only ~2 MB/s. All 
suggestions welcome.

It's a Mac Mini, running OS X "Yosemite", with Server v4.1.

TIA.

Bill
