The 3TB 4-Bay Robotic Storage Array is an innovative external storage solution. The Drobo features the convenience and data protection capabilities of a RAID, without the hassles and inflexibility associated with RAID storage.
This B&H kit populates the enclosure with three 1TB drives for a total 3TB storage capacity. The enclosure supports up to four standard 3.5" SATA hard drives. Your computer sees the Drobo as a single hard drive volume for the ultimate in ease of use.
Scalable Storage Solution
The Drobo offers truly scalable storage. The four-bay enclosure ships with three 1TB drives installed. You'll be able to replace a drive with one of a larger capacity in the future, allowing you to add storage capacity as your needs grow.
Intuitive Interface
The enclosure features intuitive LED lights that indicate disk status. Green lets you know that everything is a-ok, yellow indicates that the array is 85% full, while red lets you know that the array is 95% full. The Drobo also lets you know if it is in the process of optimizing data, or if a hard disk has crashed and needs to be replaced.
Data Protection
The Drobo delivers real-time data protection of stored files. The device protects against both drive failure and data corruption. It can even auto-repair data on a crashed hard drive, provided that the drive is replaced by a disk of equal or greater capacity. The Drobo intelligently and automatically rebuilds data from a failed drive, allowing you to get back up and running much quicker than you would with a RAID system.
