Drobo 5N2 Review: A Need, Not A Want

The Drobo 5N2 is Drobo’s third iteration on a NAS device. If you look at their previous efforts in the field, the Drobo FS and Drobo 5N, you might not notice any external difference at all.

Virtual Bill’s Tech Field Day 5 Review

May 31, 2011 by Bill Hill Leave a Comment

Tech Field Day #5 featured some amazing companies and products.

Read on for my take on the Tech Field Day #5 presenting sponsors and their respective products.

Synchronization from Drobo to the cloud

February 3, 2011 by Derek Schauland Leave a Comment

I was at Starbucks recently and heard some interesting conversation about syncing files between Drobo units. I am curious about this idea but have another idea. Sure syncing between two Drobo enclosures would be great, but wouldn’t a file replication application, either on the Drobo or on the desktop do the job just as well? Perhaps what Drobo should consider is some technology and a subscription service to replicate data stored on my Drobo with Amazon S3.

Hardware Review: Drobo Elite — Part I

June 3, 2010 by Chris Evans Leave a Comment

The DroboElite is the most fully featured storage array in the Data Robotics range of devices. Regular readers will know I’ve posted frequently on these devices, from the first Drobo “Classic” to the DroboPro, both of which I own and have purchased myself. Data Robotics have kindly loaned me a DroboElite for this series of posts. As you will see, the top of the range model offers all the features the other models provide, plus the benefits of multi-user support.

Drobo FS, Where does it fit?

April 23, 2010 by Simon Long 1 Comment

This is the question I have been asking myself since Data Robotics demo’ed the products to myself and the other delegates. If I’m honest, I’m still not sure.
