Who Uses Drobo?
More than 150,000 Drobos are in use around the world. Creative professionals were the rst to experience just how easy Drobos are to use in protecting their growing photo and video data. Today, small and medium businesses and departments in larger companies are also using Drobo for powerful, yet ultra-easy-to-use and aordable storage to protect their vital business data.

BeyondRAID™ Technology
Integral to all Drobos, BeyondRAID technology virtualizes a pool of disk drives without the limitations of RAID.
BeyondRAID adapts automatically to how many drives you have and the amount of data you are storing, so you don't have to manage it. Advanced capabilities like thin provisioning and innite expansion are built-in, without additional cost.

Self-healing & Self-managing Technology
Drobo storage products are "self-healing" - they seek and repair bad drive blocks to maintain the safest protection level possible. Also, if a drive fails, the Drobo will automatically re-layout the data to return to the highest protection level possible, all without having to manage it.

Flexible & Affordable Storage
Use any hard drive, of any size, make, and model. To grow your storage, simply insert a new drive into any open slot, or replace smaller drives with larger drives on-the-y. No need for special drive carriers or tools. Just put the drive in and Drobo takes care of the rest.

Did We Mention It Was Simple?
If you understand trac lights, you'll understand Drobo. Drobo products use familiar status lights to let you know of
any issues. Using the management application, Drobo Dashboard, you can also get desktop and email alerts.
Strong enough for business, simple enough for home, it is the best storage experience ever!
