As data continues to devour your storage capacity, you need a solution that allows you to easily manage, protect, and scale storage for your PC or Mac. For you, we've created Drobo, the first fully-automated storage robot to take the pain out of keeping your important digital content safe.

No Headache Data Redundancy

Drobo utilizes a revolutionary storage technology that makes it simple for anyone to use, yet is powerful enough for business. Once you experience the power of Drobo, the idea of keeping multiple external drives or a RAID 5 array will seem as antiquated as that 28.8Kbps modem in the back of your closet.

Your library of data grows every moment. Now, your storage solution expands in seconds, too. Drobo holds up to four hard drives, can expand at any time, and supports up to 16TB on a single volume as disk sizes increase. Choose how big you want your Drobo today with any combination of drives capacities.

Why compromise? Safety and accessibility now go hand in hand. Experience Drobo with both FireWire 800 and USB 2.0. It's the data protection and peace of mind you need with the performance and interface you want.

• FireWire 800 (FireWire 400 compatible)
• Enhanced USB 2.0 performance
• Quieter, cooler operation
• Redundant data protection
• Hot expandable up to 16TB
• The ability to take advantage of mix and match drive capacities
• SATA I or SATA II hard disk drives (Full or half-height)
  No carriers required
  Choose the drive manufacturer, capacity (mixed capacities ok),
  and spindle speed or cache that fits your current storage needs

BeyondRAID Technology

Going beyond traditional RAID means leaving behind choices between striping and mirroring, limitations on expandability, drive sizing, and drive ordering, among others. BeyondRAID is the next generation of redundant storage technology that brings together safety, reliability, expandability, efficiency, and of course, ease-of-use. It is RAID in the sense that the technology utilizes a redundant array of independent disks but not in the usual meaning of the acronym.

Battery-Backed NVRAM What happens when the lights go out? Most storage arrays simply drop what they are doing, leaving your data at risk for corruption. Drobo has battery-backed NVRAM, a feature typically found only on devices many times its price, to help reduce the risks of file system, metadata, and general data corruption.

Carrier-less, Screw-less Drive Installation Screws are for nuts. Drobo does not require tools, screws, or proprietary drive carriers to install or remove a hard drive. It's all done with the touch of a button. Why don't other storage device makers do the same thing? Good question. It's probably because Data Robotics has patented the idea, but feel free to call other vendors and ask them why you can't recover your data when you've lost your 3/16th inch Phillips-head screwdriver. Watch the videos of how easy it is to insert a hard drive into Drobo.

Drive Reordering When you remove your disks from Drobo, you can put them back in any order you like. Having to remember the particular order of drives seems odd doesn't it? Hence, Data Robotics discarded that limitation so that the system behaves exactly as you would expect.

File System and Operating System Agnostic Drobo and its underlying technologies currently support the Windows, Mac, and Linux* platforms with file system support for NTFS, HFS Plus, EXT3, and FAT32. Since Drobo is a block level system, it adapts easily. One major benefit of this is that Drobo and DroboShare can operate as network attached storage while formatted in your native file system.
