Data Robotics Drobo

Fully automated storage you don’t have to manage.

Chances are, you get passionate about creating or collecting digital content, not about managing the storage where it lives. For you we’ve created Drobo, the first robotic storage device that takes the pain out of keeping your content safe.
Drobo guards everything on it.
Drobo combines up to four hard drives into a big pool of protected storage. Start with two, grow to four, then upsize smaller drives-get Terabytes of protection.
Drobo upgrades capacity on-the-fly.
Add drives to Drobo at any time. Mix ‘n match capacities, brands or speeds. No downtime, data migration, or waiting to access new capacity. Drobo works the way you do.
Drobo lets you “pay as you grow”
Hard drives get bigger and cheaper all the time. Don’t buy storage capacity until you need it. Buy capacity “just-in-time” possibly saving you hundreds of dollars.
Drobo manages storage, so you don’t have to
Just connect Drobo to your Mac or PC. No software required. No RAID levels. No management or configuration. Drobo does everything for you.
Get rid of multiple external drives. Avoid the complexity of RAID. Attach a Drobo storage robot to your system and let it manage your storage so you don’t have to.

    Its a nice looking product that has useful features. However, I wish it could hold atleast ten harddrives. And what would be very impressive is if you could take out every single one of the four drives, while they contain lots of files, and the actual drobo could have a backup copy in it. Anyone with first hand knowledge have any input on that?

    Finally, a storage system I am actually excited about! I don’t care that it’s only USB 2.0 (currently). Not everything has to be accessed at 150/300 SATA speed. The things which do need the speed (like VMs) can reside on the system disk which gets backed up to the Drobo anyway. Everything else is already on the Drobo. I get mine on Monday!!! 🙂

    This does look cool but the USB thing is a deal killer for me. I’m waiting for the Ethernet and/or Firewire? versions. Then it will be very cool!
