DROBO

Go Beyond Traditional Storage.

Experience Drobo - Zero Management, Maximum peace of mind.

Drobo is the world’s best storage experience. This safe, expandable storage solution protects your data against a hard drive crash. Drobo’s built-in software automatically self-heals around drive failures and data errors and expands capacity dynamically when you add a drive. Start with two drives, grow to four, then upsize smaller drives to get Terabytes of protection. Add drives to Drobo at any time. There’s no down time, data migration or waiting to access new capacity. With nothing to configure or manage, Drobo is the ideal solution for primary storage as well as backup.

Drobo holds up to four 3.5” SATA hard drives and allows you to mix and match drive capacities and speeds from any manufacturer. Drobo’s LEDs tells you how Drobo is doing and how much free capacity you have. If you’ve ever successfully navigated a traffic signal, you’re a certified Drobo expert. Drobo is compatible with Windows, Mac and Linux.

So, get rid of multiple external drives. Avoid the complexity of RAID. Attach Drobo storage robot to your system and let it manage your storage so you don’t have to. Just connect Drobo to your Mac or PC and you’re done! No software required. No RAID levels. No management or configuration. Drobo does everything for you.

DROBOSHARE

DroboShare provides the most reliable and expandable networked storage system for sharing your data. DroboShare is the ideal solution for sharing and streaming media in the home and the office.

Simplicity

  • DroboShare provides the fastest and easiest setup experience of any network attached storage product, not only out of the box, but also once you are up and running. Simply plug it in and you’re good to go. Rock steady reliability ensures that you will stay connected, never again suffering another “dropped” network connection.

    Supports up to two Drobos

  • DroboShare can support two simultaneously connected Drobos. This means your networked storage can grow up to a theoretical 32TB on a single DroboShare since each Drobo can grow to 16TB as hard drive sizes expand. Since you’re using Drobo, you can rest assured knowing your storage is not only safe, but also expandable at any time.

    DLNA/UPnP and a host of other DroboApps

  • DroboShare now supports DroboApps, community-created applications that will run on your Drobo and DroboShare, providing exciting extensions for entertainment, productivity and other applications. Use DroboApps to stream media to game consoles like the Microsoft Xbox 360, Sony PlayStation 3, and more!

    Gigabit Ethernet

  • Whether you’re sharing video in a production studio or streaming a high definition movie to your home media center, the ability to share your data over a local network is critical. DroboShare is equipped with Gigabit Ethernet to meet your demanding requirements.

    BeyondNAS: Automatic setup—in just seconds.

  • Forget everything you’ve ever known about setting up network attached storage; DroboShare is radically simple to set up. Just plug it in. You’ll wonder why you ever spent hours upon hours configuring other solutions.

    NAS when you want it, DAS when you need it.

  • Why choose between the flexibility of network attached storage and the agility of direct attached storage? Demand both from your solution. Simply put your Drobo to sleep and detach it from DroboShare at anytime to take advantage of FireWire 800 or USB 2.0. Repeat the same process to put it back on your network so your files are network accessible again: simply put your Drobo to sleep and attach it to your DroboShare. Isn’t it nice t have to have options?

    Windows, Mac and Linux

  • Built on Data Robotics’ exclusive BeyondRAID™ and BeyondNAS™ technologies, Drobo and DroboShare are file system and operating system agnostic. Format your Drobo NTFS (Windows), HFS Plus (Mac OS X), EXT (Linux) or FAT32 (Various). Connect to your DroboShare and no matter which file system you’ve chosen, you can access it from the Windows, Mac, or Linux client of your choice because DroboShare operates on the open, cross-platform SMB protocol.
