    Dobo: Awesome storage device

    Filed under: Hardware;

    I have been looking at the Drobo from Data Robotoics Inc. for almost a year now, waiting for it to hit the market, and for some improvements.  Well, the improvements are here! 

    Drobo Opendrobo-share-04 drobo-share-top

     

     

     

     

     

    Some of the features are:

    • Up to 4 SATA I or II drives (can mix or match)
    • USB connectivity
    • Constant Data protection
    • Simple LED management

    Plus, add on the DroboShare, to turn it into a NAS (Network Attached Storage)

    • Gigabit Ethernet
    • Automounting SMB shared via Drobo Dashboard
    • Dual USB 2.0 ports for two Drobo’s per Droboshare
    • EXT3 file system support
    • Email alerts (in case drive fails etc)

    All in all, this product looks great.  The Drobo runs at $499 and the DroboShare is $199.
