My first encounter many years back was with Drobo and how it help manage multimedia files in the house. So when the local distributor of Drobo contacted me asking if I'd like to check out Drobo, I was excited to learn the brand was already available locally. So last month, they sent me a couple of Drobo units to check out -- one is a 5-drive unit which attaches to the PC via USB or Firewire 800 (Drobo G2) and the other one connects to the local network via a Gigabit LAN (Drobo FS). The Drobo G2 has 4 drive bays that can accomodate up to 12TB of storage (4x3TB HDD) while the Drobo FS can do 15TB with its 5 drive bays. Western Digital also provided me with a couple of their HDDs so I just plugged them into the Drobo without much trouble (HDDs are sold separately). After installing the Drobo Dashboard, I set up the two Drobo units -- one connects to my desktop PC in the room while the other one is connected to the LinkSys E4200 router. The Drobo FS took some time (about an hour or so) since it was formatting up to 4TB of HDD space.
