Drobo advantages Easier Access –one location . Complete projects / episodes
/shoots data in one location . Better Protection with lesser
Disks . Faster Search of Data . Faster Restores from Backups . Online expandability and
configuration changes . Lesser upfront storage capacity
investments . Can transfer /access data between
hosts / server. More reliable media –fungus etc .
Drobo advantages Protection from data loss
bcos OS Server Fauilures. Chassis level protection as
well .Online expandability and
configuration changes . Lesser upfront storage
capacity investments .Can transfer /access data
between hosts / server.Cheaper vs Branded Servers
After my misadventures with a couple of dead hard drives I have set up a DroboFs, my new "insurance policy"
Got the Drobo and hooked it up , expecting it to take a while to initialise , it was nearly instant ! Slick device
My @Drobo survived a drive failure during replacement & a power outage during re-protection. What a fantastic system.
New drobo arrived and I put old Disk
pack in and started it up , Everything
ran perfectly –I am so happy
I like the flexibility and reliability of
Beyond RAID technology of
drobo .Source : Twitter
