Please see our online Capacity Calculator to experiment "virtually" with various drive capacities.ĭroboPro is compatible with 3.5" SATA I and SATA II hard disks, regardless of their capacity, speed, or manufacturer. However, when Dual Disk Redundancy is enabled, DroboPro requires roughly the space equivalent to two of the largest drives to safely protect your data.Ī relatively small amount of capacity is used by the file system you've chosen and DroboPro. As a rule of thumb, your available, protected capacity on DroboPro is equivalent to the sum of your hard drive capacity minus the size of the largest drive. How much usable space will I get when I place my hard drives into DroboPro?ĭroboPro is able to utilize different capacity hard drives in a very efficient way, however, some disk space must be reserved for keeping your data safe.
However, Data Robotics recommends having the same, or later firmware on the destination DroboPro as the original. Disk packs are fully swappable between units. Yes, in the event your DroboPro breaks you can easily transfer your disk pack to another DroboPro. In the unlikely event my DroboPro malfunctions, can I put the hard drives in another unit? Since DroboPro is such a high-performance device, it can fully consume all bandwidth on a Gigabit Ethernet connection, resulting in performance compared to directly attaching DroboPro. Please note you must set a unique static IP address for each DroboPro using Drobo Dashboard and only one instance of Drobo Dashboard assigning static IP addresses should be running on that subnet. To share DroboPro to the entire network, simply turn on file sharing using the file sharing controls in your host's operating system (i.e. This host will be the only computer on the network able to directly access DroboPro.
First, directly attach DroboPro using USB 2.0, FireWire or Ethernet cable to your host, and choose an appropriate IP address, then connect each DroboPro to your switch. You can connect one or more DroboPros to a network and have them accessible from a single host, provided the host is on the same subnet. Can I connect DroboPro directly to an Ethernet switch?
