Drobo

The World's First Storage Robot

Keeps your data safe. Automatically monitors and repairs problems that could put data at risk. Automatically controls all aspects of storage management. No configuration or management consoles. Drobo does all the work, handling any complex storage management. Is a better solution than external drives and beats RAID hands down.

Drobo Features and Benefits

Drobo uses Data Robotics' SAFE (Secure, Automated, Flexible, Expandable) Storage Technology to make storage manageable for anybody, regardless of computer knowledge or technical expertise.

Secure
Non-Stop Data Protection
Automatically protects your data with no setup or configuration. If the status lights are green, your data is safe.
 
Data Aware
Knows where your data is stored on the disks so Drobo knows the most effective way to protect your data and repair itself in case of a disk failure or data corruption.
Automated
Simple LED Management
Drobo communications are as simple as a traffic light. All lights green, your data is safe. Yellow light, Drobo is 85% full, add or replace a drive. Red light, your data is not safe, add or replace a drive immediately.
 
Autonomous Storage Management
Your data is always accessible. Even when you add or replace hard drives, Drobo manages the re-configuration and data protection in the background, so your data is always available to you.
Flexible
Mix n' Match Drive Capacities
Unlike rigid, inflexible RAID solutions, Drobo recognizes the capacities available from a group of varied disk drives. Using an intelligent mixture of industry standard practices to protect your data, Drobo can offer significantly more storage capacity than standard RAID solutions. Just how you would expect storage to work, add more drives or replace smaller drives with larger ones, and get more space.
Expandable
Pay as You Grow
It's so easy to add drives to Drobo, you can start with the fewest drives / minimum capacity you need to meet your storage requirements today and just add or replace drives to increase capacity later. This feature lets you take advantage of regular disk drive capacity improvements and pricing declines.
 
Continuous Upgrades
No need to buy an entirely new system when Drobo is full. As long as disk drive capacities continue to increase beyond the capacities you have purchased, you can upgrade Drobo simply by replacing your smallest drives with larger ones.
