Watching films stored on Drobo, for example, locks up the system: if I mouse over an icon, it can take 15 seconds to preview thumbnails. Drobo Dashboard is not running.

Accessing locally stored files or files stored on my Seagate FreeAgent Go, however, has no effect on system performance.

I have never used the Backup/Restore utility in Windows 7

Is there a question here? I presume you are looking to find the cause of this, but I don't see an actual question mark anywhere in your post. Also, specifics as to your system configuration (OS edition & architecture, motherboard, Drobo model, HDDs in the Drobo) would be helpful. What does the Backup/Restore utility have to do with watching films or viewing thumbnails on your Drobo? – Iszi Rory or Isznti May 2 '11 at 12:54

It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. See the FAQ for guidance on how to improve it.
