Abstract: As the cost per megabyte of storage has dropped over the past decade, weve seen a corresponding rise in hard drive capacity at any given price point, but the meteoric growth of drive capacity has led to a corresponding problem with reliable backup or ...
Abstract: Conventional RAID solutions can be expensive, difficult to handle and hard to upgrade. Data Robotics offers you an alternative: Drobo, a robot that will fix your storage problems.
Protects your data without your interference; can take a 3.5-inch SATA drive of any capacity and from any vendor; hot swappable; your data is available while Drobo is formatting a new drive (even if one drive fails); runs quietly; dashboard lets you tr...
Drobo itself is an USB-only device, and networking capability adds $200 to the bill; we would like to see Drobo bundled with a good backup application.
Drobo takes the pain and confusion out of data protection and lets you tailor and expand the drive according to your needs. This so-called storage robot works exactly as promised and is the most innovative storage device weve seen in a long time. We w...
"Unlimited storage." No need to muck about with confusing RAID settings. Nice, clean design. Easy-to-understand LEDs. Works on PCs, Macs, wireless routers with shared drive support, and expandable NAS drives with USB ports.

Infinitely upgradeable capacity, Automatic everything from data repair to drive formatting, Easy to use and manage
Not bundled with any backup software, Too bad there isn’t faster interface options like Firewire or eSATA
After all of the testing I can say that the Drobo Storage Robot is a much better option for those trying to manage lots of data across multiple USB drives. The Drobo unit will cost you more up front but the flexibility, ease of use, data redundancy and...
