Get connected to the world's first storage robot that ensures efficient and automated storage management. Experience seamless and optimal storage solutions with this innovative technology.
Drobo is the first fully-automated storage robot that can safeguard everything on it. It combines up to four hard drives into a big pool of protected storage, and you can easily start with two, grow to four, and upsize smaller drives to get Terabytes of protection. The best part is, Drobo manages storage, so you don't have to. There are no RAID levels, no management or configuration issues. Just connect Drobo to your Mac or PC.
Say goodbye to multiple external drives and the complexity of RAID. Attach a Drobo storage robot to your system, and let it manage your storage so you don't have to. Drobo upgrades capacity on-the-fly, and you can add drives to it at any time. You can mix 'n match capacities, brands, or speeds with no downtime, data migration, or waiting to access new capacity.
Drobo also lets you "pay as you grow." You don't have to buy storage capacity until you need it. Buy capacity "just-in-time," and it could save you hundreds of dollars. You can connect your Drobo to a DroboShare and share your data over Gigabit Ethernet (GigE). With DroboShare, everybody on your network can benefit from the storage capabilities of Drobo.
Key Features of Drobo:
Secure
- Non-Stop Data Protection: Automatically protects your data with no setup or configuration.
- Data Aware: Knows where your data is stored on the disks so Drobo can protect your data effectively and repair itself in case of a disk failure or data corruption.
Automated
- Simple LED Management: The communication with Drobo is as simple as a traffic light. All lights green, your data is safe. Yellow light, Drobo is 85% full, add or replace a drive. Red light, your data is not safe, add or replace a drive immediately.
- Autonomous Storage Management: Your data is always accessible. Even when you add or replace hard drives, Drobo manages the re-configuration and data protection in the background, so your data is always available to you.
Flexible
- Mix n' Match Drive Capacities: Unlike rigid, inflexible RAID solutions, Drobo recognizes the capacities available from a group of varied disk drives. Using an intelligent mixture of industry standard practices to protect your data, Drobo can offer significantly more storage capacity than standard RAID solutions.
- Expandable: Pay as You Grow: It's effortless to add drives to Drobo. You can start with the fewest drives/minimum capacity you need to meet your storage requirements today and increase capacity later by just adding or replacing drives. This feature lets you take advantage of regular disk drive capacity improvements and pricing declines.
Continuous Upgrades: No need to buy an entirely new system when Drobo is full. As long as disk drive capacities continue to increase beyond the capacities you have purchased, you can upgrade Drobo by simply replacing your smallest drives with larger ones.
