Generation 3 drobo: Fall In Love All Over Again

April 9, 2015 By Stephen 11 Comments

I fell for the drobo the moment I heard about it, but the bloom fell from that rose after a few years. The old drobo was simply too slow for modern computers and big files. But the new third-generation drobo is enough to make you fall in love all over again: It's a simple and relatively affordable upgrade that really delivers the goods! Why drobo? You'd think that someone … [Read more...] about Generation 3 drobo: Fall In Love All Over Again

The Transformation from Data Robotics to Drobo

July 18, 2011 By Stephen Leave a Comment

Data Robotics spent the last year transforming itself from a maker of expensive consumer storage devices to a player in the nascent small enterprise storage array market. That process took another step this week, as Data Robotics officially renamed itself Drobo.

April 6, 2010 By Stephen 1 Comment

Data Robotics is back with yet another member in the rapidly-expanding Drobo family of "storage robots." The newly-announced Drobo FS brings gigabit Ethernet, file-sharing protocols, and installable apps to the platform's industry-leading flexibility and data protection. But Drobo FS is no slam dunk: It's expensive, not found in (many) stores, and the value proposition can be … [Read more...] about Review: Will Drobo FS Take The NAS Market By Storm?

Drobo Adding 4K Drive Support – What About Everyone Else?

January 28, 2010 By Stephen 3 Comments

A few weeks ago, I wrote about the new generation of hard disk drives that use 4K sectors rather than the historic 512 byte size. As I noted in that piece, although PC and Mac users with recent OS versions had nothing to fear from these, embedded devices like the TiVo and Drobo I use and love might not be compatible. I tried reaching out to these vendors, but only one has … [Read more...] about Drobo Adding 4K Drive Support – What About Everyone Else?
