Your Personal Speed Demon
Say hello to the world's most advanced USB 3.0 storage array. In addition to blazing fast transfer speeds for creative professionals and small businesses, the all-new Drobo S features USB 3.0 technology that delivers the most expandable, future-proof solution available today. Drobo S offers an unbeatable combination of automated protection, instant and perpetual expansion, and high-performance making it ideal for all of your primary and backup storage needs.
Comprehensive Connectivity
USB 3.0 offers backward compatibility with all existing USB 2.0 systems, and the Drobo S features a triple interface with eSATA and FireWire 800 to ensure you'll have a high-performance connection for virtually any system.
BeyondRAID
Drobo utilizes the revolutionary BeyondRAID storage technology that protects data against a hard disk failure, yet is simple enough for anyone to use. As long as you have more than a single disk in Drobo, all data on Drobo is safe no matter which hard disk fails. Combined with an appropriate backup policy, the Drobo provides a cost effective, expandable storage solution.
Dual Drive Redundancy
Enable the dual-drive redundancy option to protect your data from failure of up to two hard drives. It's all done with a single click, and without ever losing access to your data. Running out of space? Switch back to single-drive redundancy at any time. Unlike moving between traditional RAID 5 and RAID 6, there's no need to reformat or migrate data off of Drobo S, potentially saving you hours or days of downtime.
Self-Healing Reliability
With the self-healing technology now incorporated into Drobo S, your data is safer than ever. Even when sitting idle, Drobo S will continually examine the blocks and sectors on every drive, flagging questionable areas. This preemptive "scrubbing" helps ensure your data is being written only to the healthy areas of your drives, and that your data is always safe. Even if a drive fails, Drobo S keeps your data in the safest state possible, utilizing the available space on the remaining healthy drives.
Cross-Platform Compatibility
Drobo connects to Windows, Mac, and Linux systems and supports NTFS, HFS+, EXT3, and FAT32 file formats. Everyone can take advantage of simple, powerful BeyondRAID data protection.
