The Drobo, Data Robotics’ oddly cool storage, was fed and given some steroids pumped. The RAID storage array is equal to twice the redundant drive bays, meaning you can now slot in eight disks for a theoretical maximum size of 64TB.
The big difference between a RAID and the Drobo is that you drop a mixture of drives into the Drobo and it just works. RAID drive is the smallest and all the other makes the same size. You can also unplug a drive from the Drobo while it is running and not suffer adverse effects – all data up to twice the other drives.
What is new in the Drobo Pro? As you can see in the picture, it’s bigger. Apart from the extra four drive bays will also give you an integrated power supply (the extra space is not an external power brick). You also gain a new backup method. Although you can drive into the pile and be sure that everything inside is safe, there is a new option for the paranoid-called “dual-disk redundancy”. This will increase the per Drobo into two, four-disk arrays, each with the same data. The only thing that your data would be a fire or a flood.
You can connect with USB 2.0, FireWire 800 or the new way to iSCSI, which hooks up via the Ethernet port.
