Overview Drobo FS is a five-bay storage array designed to deliver the best file sharing experience for connected home, home office, and small office environments. Featuring automated data protection and the ability to add capacity and features as needed, Drobo FS delivers true plug and share network storage without complexity. Features Up to Five-Drives of Instant Expansion to 10TB and Beyond
Grow your storage to meet with your data capacity needs with minimal effort. To add capacity, simply insert a new hard drive or replace your smallest drive with a larger one, even when all five drive bays are full. Unlike traditional RAID systems, the BeyondRAID technology found in Drobo FS enables you to mix and match capacities, drive brands and speeds. This allows for continuous expansion as drive capacities grow and larger drives become available. With Drobo FS, expansion is automatic, instantaneous and access to data is always maintained.
Protection from Two Drive Failures
Enable the dual-drive redundancy option to protect your data from failure of up to TWO hard drives. It’s all done with a single click, and without ever losing access to your data. Running out of space? Switch back to single-drive redundancy. Unlike moving between traditional RAID 5 and RAID 6, there’s no need to reformat or migrate data off of Drobo, potentially saving you hours or days.
Supports the Client of Your Choice
Drobo FS supports standard networking protocols (AFP and CIFS) allowing access to its data from any Windows, Mac, or UNIX/Linux client.¹
