Step 1 of 4
How many computers will use your Drobo at the same time?
- One personal computer at a time, directly attached to the Drobo by a short cable
- One or several computers at the same time, sharing the Drobo over an office or home Ethernet or WiFi network
- One dedicated computer will remain turned on, attached to the Drobo all the time (“server”); one or many other computers will share the Drobo through that server over a network
How do you plan to use your Drobo?
- Like a big extension of my hard drive to store and protect all the home or home office files I use all the time
- Like an archive to periodically back up my computer (using Time Machine on Mac OS or PC Backup on Windows)
- To create media and edit photo, music, or video directly from files stored on my Drobo in real time
- As a home or home office share drive for 1 – 9 computers at a time, to store and protect all my files, to periodically back up my computer (Time Machine on Mac OS or PC Backup on Windows), and to share files between computers
- As a business share drive for 10 – 20 computers at a time, to store, share, and back up files
- As a home or home office share drive for 1 – 9 computers at a time, to store and protect all my files, to periodically back up my computer (Time Machine on Mac OS or PC Backup on Windows), and to share files between computers
- As a business share drive for 10 or more computers at a time, to store, share, and back up files
- As a business server-attached drive: as primary or backup storage for one or more servers running VMware, Exchange, or other business applications
