Like all Drobo storage products, Drobo FS provides redundant data protection without the complexities of RAID. Just plug in your
Drobo FS, and your data protection is all set up with no configuration required. We call this BeyondRAID™ technology. You’ll call it
peace of mind.
Share your data on a Gigabit Ethernet Network Drobo FS connects directly to a Gigabit Ethernet network to make sharing your data easy. Just plug it into any switch or wireless
router and you are ready to go
Supports the Computer of Your Choice Connect to your Drobo FS using any Windows, Mac, or UNIX/Linux computer.¹ Whatever system you have, it's likely you'll be able
to connect to it over your network quickly and easily.
Easy Expansion to 10TB and Beyond Drobo FS holds up to five drives allowing you to effortlessly grow your storage to meet your data capacity needs. To add more
space, simply insert a new hard drive or replace your smallest drive with a larger one, even when all drive bays are full.
Protection from up to Two Drive Failures Enable the dual-drive redundancy option to protect your data from failure of up to two hard drives. It’s all done with a single-click
and you never lose access to your data. Running out of space? No problem. Switch back to single-drive redundancy at any time.
Unlike moving between traditional RAID levels, there’s no need to reformat or migrate data off of the Drobo FS — potentially
saving you hours or days of downtime.
Self-Healing Technology With the self-healing technology incorporated into Drobo FS, your data is safer than ever. When sitting idle, Drobo FS will
proactively examine the blocks and sectors on every drive, flagging questionable areas. This preemptive " scrubbing" helps
ensure your data is being written only to the healthy areas of your drives. When a drive fails, Drobo FS keeps your data in
the safest state possible by moving your data to the available space on the remaining healthy drives.
A Drobo as Unique as you are Select from a wide selection of free DroboApps designed to give you the freedom to configure and customize your Drobo FS to
meet your own unique set of requirements. Our growing library of DroboApps² adds amazing functionality like media, web, and
more!
