Are you tired of your unofficial job for which you don't get paid?
As a "Data Librarian", you need to manage the vast store of digital data you have collected for work and for leisure.

Drobo protects you from two problems that afflict every hard drive: they will get full, and they will break. Drobo is a storage array that protects your data from drive failure. And you can increase its capacity by adding another hard drive, or replacing a hard with a larger one.

Visit our capacity calculator to experiment with different drive combinations to see how much protected storage you will get.

The Drobo product family is based on the award wining BeyondRAID™ technology. We have taken the best parts of RAID, its mathematical data protection algorithms, and eliminated limitations in traditional RAID systems.

Drobo and BeyondRAID offer functionality that is impossible in traditional RAID storage arrays:

  • Increase capacity at any time by adding a drive (start with 2, then grow to 3,4, or more depending on the model)
  • Mix and match drives of different capacities and be able to use storage on all of them
  • Pool the drive capacity together so that it looks like a single large volume to your computer
  • Self-healing — if Drobo detects errors it will fix them for you automatically
