replace your smallest drive with a larger one, even when all drive bays are full. Unlike traditional RAID systems, the BeyondRAID
technology in Drobo enables you to leverage different drive capacities, allowing for continuous expansion as larger drives become
available. With Drobo B800FS, expansion is automatic, instantaneous and access to data is always maintained. DroboB800FS can
protect from single or dual drive failures and has a virtual hot spare capability - ensuring all drives are used as all times.
