Network Redundancy
The DroboPro FS has two Gigabit Ethernet ports that can be configured to fail over if one link fails. You can also easily setup the ports to provide two separate network links to your storage: one for your data and the other for Drobo Sync data transfers, for example.
Cross-Platform Connectivity
Connect to your DroboPro FS using any Windows, Mac, or UNIX/Linux computer. Whatever system you have, it's likely you'll be able to connect to it over your network quickly and easily.
Apple Time Machine Integration
The DroboPro FS enables network backup for Mac users at home, home office or small offices. The DroboPro FS delivers the most seamless support for Apple Time Machine of any network storage system on the market today. Using Time Machine with DroboPro FS is as easy as clicking one box in the Drobo Dashboard software, with no need for confusing, complex command line work.
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 DroboPro, potentially saving you hours or days of downtime.
Self-Healing Reliability
With the self-healing technology now incorporated into DroboPro, your data is safer than ever. Even when sitting idle, DroboPro 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, DroboPro keeps your data in the safest state possible, utilizing the available space on the remaining healthy drives.
Smart Volumes
Create new volumes in seconds and manage up to 16 x 16TB volumes over time with ease. The innovative and timesaving Smart Volume management technology integrated into DroboPro allows volumes to pull storage from the common pool of disks rather than a specific physical disk allocation. The labor of resizing and migrating volumes is replaced with the simplicity of intelligent engineering.
Rack Mount Ready & Desktop Quiet
DroboPro is equally at home in a rack mount environment as it is on your desktop. Dual smart fans automatically manage their speeds to optimize both cooling and operating noise. (DroboPro Rack Mount Kit sold separately)
