 Rating:  - Great Idea, too many bugs, lost 1.2TB of files!I just returned my Drobo after it lost 1.2TB of video files. (I bought it from local store not Amazon). It's a great idea, but after two weeks the unit gave an error message in drobo dashboard on start-up, saying it could not repair the drive. The dashboard then showed that the drive was completely empty, whereas the drive itself (which was still appearing on the desktop) had a small fraction of the files it should have had. I spoke to Drobo who suggested I use Disk Warrior to check ... Read More Rating: - Runs too hot. Not the machine it should be. Drobo bad.This machine is only worth it if you run new MacOS or, I believe, Vista. Will NOT act as a single large partition otherwise. It'll make two small ones. Also, do not buy it from NewEgg. Their RMA policies blow. Rating: - Unreliable product sold by not trustworthy people - think twice before you buy!I've reviewed it a while back, but now I have to revise my original rating and review. I strongly advice you to think twice, before you make your purchase, as I am now sitting in the mess of trying to recover my data! The company making Drobo refused to offer any support. [Latest update 09/27/2008] DROBO CRASHED AND I LOST MY DATA! They lied about Linux support on their web site. Someone got Linux working with this device, and they started putting up Linux "Support" on their ... Read More Rating:  - It does what it says on the product description, but ...I've had my Drobo for about a month now, and the product does work as described. It is as easy to use as shown on the videos on the product website and here at Amazon. It does work with any size drives you may have, and you can grow how much capacity it holds by just replacing your smallest drive with another of a bigger capacity. It simply works. But they left out that it can be slower than other external drives you may have had in the past. It is slower than most other external drives when ... Read More Rating: - Does as advertisedUsing this for video backup only. 2.7 TB of usable space (4 Western Digital 1TB drives). Have not had a problem in 2 months of heavy use. Easy to use and upgrade (started with 2 TB and then added 2 more drives later). There is one weird thing it does though and that is whenever I turn on my Mac and the Drobo, I get the "unrecognized disc" message with the dialog box to "initialize or cancel" choices. Of course I always click cancel and it comes up normally, but damn that is a scary dialog to come up ... Read More |
