News: DroboPro announced, large media libraries rejoice
Data Robotics Inc. has just announced the latest in their line of “robot” storage devices. This is essentially the same as the original Drobo, however capacity has doubled to eight drives enabling expansion to 16 terabytes and beyond. At 16 tb, that’s roughly 4,000 movies at 4 gb each!
According to Data Robotics, the Drobo enables ‘No Headache Dual Disk Redundancy’:
Enable the Dual Disk Redundancy option to protect against the simultaneous failure of up to two hard disks. It’s all done with a single click, without ever losing access to your data. Running out of space? You can even switch back to single disk redundancy with a click. For instance, unlike moving between RAID 5 and RAID 6, there’s no need to reformat or migrate data off of the array, potentially saving you hours or days.
