  • You have lots of porn...

  • what's awesome in your video is that you could see which way the drives go in. Yep, and I use Br, Id, Ai - just new to drives! THANKS

  • @janX9 I have no idea how that works, but that's how it works. Just amazing!!! I`m so glad I found the drobo calculator :)

    This was the selling point for me! Sure the Drobo has a hefty price tag, but with how many HDD's I`ll free up for dual redundancy it`s worth it, and if it gets full I can go down to single disc protection and I have another 1.59 TB of space to work with until I get a bigger harddrive. 3TB WB BABY!

    Please thumbs up my last comment so people know this nifty fact :)

  • 1:44 The Drobo does Not use half the space with Data Redundancy, not even with Dual redundancy turned on.

    All 8 bays with 2TB drives (one drive can fail):

    Available for data-12.48TB

    Used for protection-2.06TB

    With Dual redundancy (so 2 drives can fail simultaneously):

    Available for data-10.89TB

    Used for protection-3.65TB

    There is a Capacity Calculator on the Drobo website, so you can put in the amount of every sized hard drive, and it will tell you how much space will be used for protection.

  • Hey great video. i have seen tons of videos and have read alot of forums about the Drobo. My recent HDD failure has forced me to look at purchasing one of these Drobos. I have not yet gotten clarity on the setup. I own a airport extreme and would like to plung into it and use the space as a storage for all my computers. Can this be done and how?

  • WTF make it a robot and not an network attached storage device? Can someone explain this to me?  If you want a robot, talk to skynet.

  • can you edit video off the drobo?
