What is a Drobo? How will it help me store and secure my data?

Think of it as a hard drive that never gets full and never fails. If you think it sounds too good to be true think again.

Drobo® from Data Robotics® is a totally new storage system. It can store as much or as little as you like and expands with your company over time. Setting up a Drobo is as simple as plugging in the device via USB 3.0, Firewire 800, iSCUSI, eSATA, or Ethernet. There are no complicated RAID conventions or configurations to worry about. Just plug in and your new storage device has the data protection you need. Drobo offers the redundant protection of RAID systems without the hassle. There is a simple user interface Data Robotics calls it BeyondRAID™, we call it simplicity.

Do I need to buy high capacity hard drives to use a Drobo? What if I need more storage later?

Not a problem. With Drobo you can use any 3.5" SATA drives, no mater their brand or size. You start with the storage you need, and can add more drives or replace your smaller drives with larger ones as the need arises. You will be able to use the increased capacity in seconds, not hours. BeyondRAID doesn't even mind if you have mixed drive sizes. In fact it welcomes the challenge with it's Automatic Protection Levels, ensuring that your drives are fully protected no matter your setup. You don't even have to worry about mirroring or striping, Drobo takes care of all of that for you.
