Data Robotics is throwing a special Gestalt IT Tech Field Day Drobo Sale!
Regular readers of the Pack Rat blog know I love my Drobo. I’m not the only one – the Gestalt IT Tech Field Day delegates spilled a ton of virtual ink over the Drobo, and their Drobo videos are definitely worth watching! But the Drobo is a bit pricey, especially the newly-released Drobo S and Drobo Elite models. Happily, I offer a solution: Data Robotics was kind enough to arrange a special Tech Field Day Drobo sale, allowing each delegate who chooses to participate offer their own discount code!
The Discount – USA/Canada
The US and Canada stores currently have a sale running on all Drobo models and are also offering $30 and $60 rebates on the Drobo and DroboPro models. There’s no telling how long that will last.
The Tech Field Day codes offer the same discount on three of the four models, but yield an extra $100 off the Drobo Elite. The Tech Field Day codes are good at least through the end of 2009.
| Model | List Price | Discount | Net Price | % Savings |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Drobo | $399 | $50 | $349 | 13% |
| Drobo S | $799 | $75 | $724 | 9% |
| DroboPro | $1499 | $150 | $1349 | 10% |
| Drobo Elite | $3499 | $350 | $3149 | 10% |
Note: Drobo informs me that the current $30 and $60 rebates can not be stacked with any of these discounts. You can always try submitting the form anyway, but you might get turned down.
The Discount – Europe
The European Drobo store has no current discounts, so the Tech Field Day codes are much more interesting!
| Model | List Price | Discount | Net Price | % Savings |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Drobo | 289,00€ | 35,00€ | 254,00€ | 12% |
| Drobo S | 569,00€ | 52,00€ | 517,00€ | 9% |
| DroboPro | 1089,00€ | 105,00€ | 984,00€ | 10% |
| Drobo Elite | 2439,00€ | 244,00€ | 2195,00€ | 10% |
Get Your Code!
Since each Tech Field Day delegate got his own code, it would be unfair to list just one here. Therefore, when a delegate decides to participate and posts his code, I will be adding a link here. You can pick your favorite and use that code at the US and Canada online Drobo Stores! If you would like to order from the European store, you need a special EU code.
