Drobo is an excellent tool to protect against that - now we need the rest.Ĭan it be done? Using a NAS yes maybe, using Drobo as a USB / Firewire block storage device - this may be harder, but it may be possible. I know from my own history, that hard disk failure probably only accounts for less than 1/3rd of my data loss.
OLD VERSIONS OF DROBO DASHBOARD SOFTWARE
How many people have lost data due to hard disk failure? How many due to software corruption? How many to human error (accidental delete or format. The issue we have, is that file systems, whether HFS+, NTFS or Ext4 all still have failures and corruptions.ĭrobo, does not protect against these corruptions.ĭrobo does two things, and it does them well: it protects against a hard disk failure and it allows for almost zero management upgrades of disks (also included here is the ability to have mixed size disks). can't mount but no SMART error, or Disk repair wont' work, or folders are empty) you find heaps of references that are nothing to do with Drobo.
